College Avenue --- Petitioner: Kevin and Ed Zdenek, tenant. --- Zone: BL --- Section 29-595 (c) v --- The variance would increase the maximum height requirement for a 36 square foot freestanding sign at a 7 foot setback, from , 13 feet to 15 feet. The variance would allow the current pole-mounted sign to remain in its present location. This appeal was tabled from the May 14, 1992 meeting. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The petitioner requested a variance on March 12 , 1992 to convert the sign to a ground sign and allow it to encroach into the required sight distance triangle. The variance was not approved, and the petitioner is now modifying the request. Moving the sign back enough in order to allow the 15 foot height would result in loss of sign visibility due to large pine trees and traffic signs and apparatus. Lowering the sign results in an encroachment into the sight distance triangle. --- Staff comments: None Appeal 2029 --- 1334 W. Oak Street --- Petitioner: Tom and Jane Nevrivy, owners. --- Zone: NCL --- Section 29-199 ( 5) --- The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the east lot line from 5 feet to 4 feet in order to allow an G addition to an existing single family home. The addition will line up with the existing east wall. The house is located in 5 .0 the NCL zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The home is an older home. The east wall is already only 4 feet from the lot lane. The owners desire to convert an existing back porch into a family room and extend it by 3 feet, lining up with the existing structure. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2030 --- 1137 Riverside Avenue --- Petitioner: Gene Homolka --- Zone: IG --- Section 29-595(d) --- The variance would allow a 20 square foot per face freestanding sign to be located within 15 feet of an interior side lot line. Specifically, the variance would allow a sign for the "Variety Flea Market" to be located within 1 foot from the east lot line. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The building is set back from the street further than the two adjacent buildings. Therefore, the sign on the building wall is not very visible to motorists. A freestanding sign is desirable; however, the only place to put it is close to the east lot line. Anywhere else would mean the sign would be located in the driveway or behind parking spaces . --- Staff comments: None. AP12eal 2031 --- 1018 W. Oak Street --- Petitioner: Stephanie Schultz and Jan Watson --- Zone: NCL --- Section 29-119 (5 ) --- The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the west lot line from 5 feet to 1 foot, in order to allow a portion of the rear of the house to be demolished, then reconstructed and enlarged. The home is located in the NCL zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The house is an older building which is currently only 1 foot from the lot line. The enclosed porch and bathroom are in poor condition. The owner would like to demolish the porch and build an addition on the back of the house. The addition will line up with the existing west wall and will extend 11 feet further north then the current house. Aesthetically, it will look better to line up the new construction with what already exists. --- Staff comments: The Zoning Board granted similar variances to two properties located across the alley. In 1985 , a variance was granted to 1007 W. Mountain to reduce the west setback to 2 .2 feet, and in 1988 a variance was granted to 1009 W. Mountain to reduce their west setback to 2.8 feet. Appeal 2032 --- 3600 Kingsley Drive --- Petitioner: Bartran & Comapany --- Zone: --- Section 29-591 (6 ) --- The variance would allow a subdivision sign to be 121 square feet instead of the allowed 35 square feet. (The actual size of the letters are 30 square feet, but the size of the wall is 126 square feet. ) The sign is the permanent identification sign for the English Ranch Subdivision. --- Petitioner ' s statement of hardship: The actual size of the letters of the sign are 30 square feet. However, the letters are mounted upon a decorative entrance wall structure which is -0 126 square feet and is considered signage by the Sign Code because it is not a part of a longer fence structure. The owner' s hardship is that he is unable to connect this structure to a fence like many other developers have done because the location of the sign and wall is in a storm drainage area which is planned to be landscaped and maintained as usable open space. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2033 --- 3626 Silvertip Place --- Petitioner: Mr. & Mrs. Greg Zander --- Zone: RLP --- Section 29-133 ( 5 ) --- The variance would reduce the required street side setback along Antelope Road from 15 feet to 9 feet in order to allow a 13 ' x 27 ' sunroom addition to be built onto the south side of the home. The house is located in the RLP zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The owner' s desire is to have a room which takes advantage of the southern exposure. In order for the room to be large enough to accommodate furniture and be functional, the addition will encroach into the required setback. Without a variance the room would only be 7 feet wide. --- Staff comments : None. A2peal 2034 --- 829 S. Shields Street --- Petitioner: David Massey --- Zone: BL --- Section 29-493 ( 1 ) --- The variance would reduce the required landscape parking lot setback along the north lot line from a 5 foot minimum width at any one point to one foot in width, while also reducing the average 5 foot landscape setback along the north lot line to C� ` � ,� 3 feet. The variance would also reduce the required 5 foot WW�_ landscape setback along the south lot line to zero feet. The variances are for a retail store/post office located in the BL zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The change of use of the property requires compliance with the current code. The city is going to be installing a right turn lane, thus additional right-of-way will be required. Since the building is existing, lost parking can't be replaced elsewhere on the lot, it is important to maintain as much parking as possible. The petitioner proposes to improve the existing landscaping on the lot to the south in order to off-set the requirement for his lot. If the 5 foot is required along the north lot line, then a whole row of parking will have to be eliminated. Likewise the parallel parking along the south lot line would have to be eliminated if the south 5 foot strip is required. --- Staff comments: Due to the congestion at the corner of Elizabeth and Shields, it is very difficult to enter and exit this property. Ease of internal parking lot circulation due to stacking of vehicles waiting to exit is important to attempt to obtain. The proposed "one-way" circulation helps to achieve this.
