ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting November 8 , 1990 Appeal _ #1969 --- 3602 Richmond Drive --- Petitioner : Bill Vigor for Mountain Range Baptist Church , owner --- Zone : RE --- Section 29-93 (a ) ( 1 ) --- The variance would reduce the required lot area from 100 , 000 square Gfeet to 15 , 996 square feet for an existing single-family home in the RE zone. The remaining easterly 111 , 724 square feet would remain with the approved church . t --- Petitioner ' s statement of hardship : The church has an approved 1p plan for a new facility at this location and would like to start construction in the spring of 1991 . There is an existing house on the same lot where the church would be built . The church feels that they would be less encumbered if they could sell the home and not be a landlord . They feel that it is not appropriate for them to be involved in a revenue producing endeavor . The cleanest thing would be to sell the house and associated yard, similar to what occurred on the property directly to the south a number of years ago. The proposed separate lot for the house is already fenced and is totally separate from the church lot . This variance would result in no physical change to the property with respect to the house, the new church, or the neighborhood. It would simply result in creating a new property line delineating the house from the church. --- Staff comments : On October 8 , 4a@ the Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance for this property to reduce the then required lot area from 200 , 000 square feet to 127 , 720 square feet . The code at that time required 100 , 000 square feet of lot area for each principal use on the lot . In this case, that meant that 200 , 000 square feet of lot area was necessary in order to be able to build a church on the same lot where the house was . The other option would have been to demolish the house. About 18 months after the variance was granted, the Code was amended by changing the lot area requirement in the RE zone to require " ( 1 ) the equivalent of four times the total floor area of the building but not less than 100 , 000 square feet or ( 2 ) the legal size of the lot as it existed at the time of annexation into the city. " This code change meant that the previously granted variance was no longer necessary y because the tot was , and still is , the same size as it was when it was annexed. However , splitting the lot as proposed at this time does require a variance because the new lot would have less than 100 , 000 square feet . Appeal #1970 --- 1317 Laporte Avenue --- Petitioner : Mr. and Mrs . Renwicke, potential buyers --- Zone: RL --- Section : 29-133 ( 2 ) G --- The variance would reduce the required lot width from 60 feet to 50 feet for an existing one-family dwelling in the RL zone. --- Petitioner ' s statement of hardship: The current lot size is 100 feet wide by 160 feet deep, with the property consisting of lots 9 and 10 of this subdivision . The present owner combined the two lots into one lot many years ago. Therefore, the property is presently in compliance . The petitioner ' s desire is to just buy the original lot 10 . In its original form it was only 50 feet wide. The house would be in keeping with the neighborhood because all the rest of the lots are built on and have houses on 50 foot wide lots . This house, when built , was centered on lot 10 , and this variance would simply reconfigure the property back to its original condition. --- Staff comments : None. v e Appeal #1971 --- 1313 Laporte Avenue --- Petitioner: Dennis Sovick , contractor and potential buyer . --- Zone: RL Section : 29-133 ( 2 ) to - The variance would reduce the required lot width from 60 feet to 50 feet in order to allow the construction of a new single-family home in the RL zone.

Appeal „#1972 --- 808 Martinez Street G --- Petitioner: Stanley and Sandra Saugase, owners �Q --- Zone: RL --- Section : 29-133 ( 4 ) --- The variance would reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 2 1/2 feet for a detached two-car garage in the RL zone . --- Petitioner ' s statement of hardship: There is presently no garage on the property. The house is setback 50 feet from the front property line, which is an extremely deep setback . This leaves a shallow back yard in which to build anything without a variance . A tree exists in the front yard which eliminates the front yard as being an alternative location for the garage . --- Staff comments : None Other business
