ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting May 9, 1991 Appeal #1984 --- 111.3 Maple Street G --- Petitioner: Bob Creager, owner. °� --- Zone: RM --- Section: 29-178 (3) --- The variance would reduce the required front yard setback from 15 feet to 12 feet in order to allow a one foot addition to the east side of the house. The addition would line up with the existing front wall of the house. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The house is quite small and at least 60 years old. The petitioner desires to remodel the house and enlarge the bathroom so that a tub can be installed and the fixtures can be rearranged to be more functional. All this can be accomplished by adding one foot to the east side of the house. The house is already only 12 feet from the property line, and the one foot addition would line up with it. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal #1986 qb")-q --- 4&W Br - South Mason --- Petitioner: Tony Hughes of Vaught/Frye Architects --- Zone: hb --- Section: 29-595 (h) --- The variance would increase the number of freestanding signs allowed on the property from one (1) to three (3) . Specifically, the variance would allow one identification sign and two menu boards. The menu board signs will be 20 square feet each. � Petitioner's statement of hardship: To effectively operate as' - a drive-thru restaurant, it is necessary to have menu boards to serve those customers. Unlike other drive-thrus, this facility is designed with 2 drive-thru lanes, with menu board for each lane which need to be located 4 car lengths from the service window to provide for sufficient stacking. The business also will need 1 freestanding sign for identification. The proposed signage is under the maximum square footage allowed. --- Staff comments: Variances to allow one menu board in addition to a freestanding identification sign are fairly common for drive-thru restaurants which are not located on corner lots. This is the first drive-thru with 2 lanes, so this request is somewhat different. The proposed menu board for the lane on the norhteast side of the building could be mounted on the building and it would be no further from the lane than the proposed freestanding location. However, mounting it on the building would result in the elimination of one stacking space between the menu board and the pick-up window. If the Board grants this variance, a condition regarding heavy landscaping around the signs would be reasonable. dam. Appeal #1987 --- 3401 Worwick Drive --- Petitioner: John Wilkens, owner --- Zone: RL --- Section: 29-133 (3) --- The variance would reduce the required front yard setback from 15 feet to 14 feet in order to allow a garage addition to the north side of the house. The north lot line on this corner lot is considered to be the front property line by definition, C' even though the house faces the other street. 5 '10 --- Petitioner's statement of hardship: This is a corner lot, and the house faces the legal side yard (Worwick Drive) . The 414 legal front lot line is really the street side yard. The street side yard setback requirement is 15 feet and the front yard requirement is 20 feet. A variance was granted in 1976 to reduce the front yard requirement to 15 feet. The owner Dom, already has a driveway slab for 3 cars and now would like to add a 3rd stall to the garage. He believes it is necessary to build a 12 foot garage to accommodate his vehicle. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 41988 --- 338 E. Stuart Street R r-e- --- Petitioner: Michelle iree of Republic Garages, the contractor. _C --- Zone: RL --- Section: 29-133 (4) --- The variance would reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 5 feet in order to allow a new, detached 2-car garage. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: If made to comply, the garage would have to be placed in the middle of the petitioner' s back yard. Existing in the back yard are a couple of mature trees which would be lost if the garage were to be placed at the required setbacks. Also, since the rear yard of the property is adjacent to an alley, the garage would not be next to anyone elses rear yard. The proposed garage would also line up with numerous other structures along the alley so as to not be out of character. C --- Staff comments: None. Other Business•
