ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting October 8, 1992 Appeal 2042 --- 804 Alta Vista V --- Petitioner: Jim Klein for the Fort Collins Housing Authority --- Zone: RL --- Section 29-133 (2 ) --- The variance would reduce the required lot width from 60 feet to 50 feet for a new single family dwelling in the RL zone. The house will replace the existing home that is on the lot. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The existing house is in a state of disrepair and can 't be salvaged The Housing Authority would like to move an existing home onto the lot to replace the one that is already there. The new house will comply with all setback requirements. The lot is platted with ' only 50 feet of width and many similar variances have been granted in this area. --- Staff comments: This is not an uncommon request in this subdivision. Four similar variances have been granted within one block of this lot. Appeal 2043 --- 621 Laporte Avenue --- Petitioner: Edmund C. Secor --- Zone: NCM --- Section 29-167 (5 ) --- The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the west lot line from 5 feet to 2 feet in order to allow a 12 foot addition to the existing garage. The west wall would line up with the existing west wall of the garage. The property is located in the NCM zone. --- Petitioner ' s statement of hardship: The house has very little storage area. The addition would allow for a storage area in the garage and still function as a two-car garage. The existing wall is already only 2 feet from the lot line, so the new construction would be no closer than the existing building. The lot is only 40 feet wide, so it is very narrow. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2044 --- 2067 Vermont Dr Petitioner: Poudre Fire Authority --- Zone: RH --- Section 29-492 ( 3) (C) --- The variance would allow the parking lot for the new Fire Station #10 to be located between the building and Timberline Road, when the code requires that parking lots in the RH zone must be setback from the street a distance equal to or greater than the building setback. --- Petitioner ' s statement of hardship: The overhead garage doors for the fire trucks need to be as far away from the intersection as possible in order to assure adequate emergency response time. Therefore, they need to be on the west end of the building and the building needs to be located as far west as possible. In order to do this, the parking lot must be located east of the building. The intent of this code requirement is to preserve the residential streetscape of areas in the RH zone. However, this area of RH land is not in a residential neighborhood and the parking lot location will be similar to other uses nearby. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2045 --- 428 West Oak Street --- Petitioner: Joe Bastian --- Zone: NCM --- Section 29-167 (5) --- The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along Sherwood Street for this corner lot from 15 feet to 9 . 5 feet for a one-car garage addition on the north side of the home. The property is located in the NCM zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The curb cut and driveway are existing at this location. If the addition is moved to the east, then a large, mature tree may need to be removed. The existing barn/garage will be removed to accommodate a solar home to the north. The lot is narrow, being approximately 45 feet at the point where the garage will be built. A number of the homes to the north are also setback between 9 and 9 1/2 feet, so this would not change the character of the street, and the addition will still be 29 . 5 feet from the curb. --- Staff comments: None. Other business: --- Election of officers. I�U�U`
