ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting June 10, 1993 Appeal 2072 --- 3509 South Mason Street --- Petitioner: Josh Griffin --- Zone: HB Zone --- Section 29-595(d) , 29-595 (c) --- The variance would allow a 52 square foot freestanding sign to be located within 15 feet of an interior side lot line. Specifically it would allow the sign to be 1 foot from the lot line dividing this lot from 3501 S. Mason Street. The variance would also reduce the required setback from the front property line from 16 feet to 0 feet. (The existing "Elite Auto Glass" sign would be moved to the same location as the existing "Carousel Dinner Theater" sign, and the two signs would be combined. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The owner of 3509 S . Mason Street also owns 3501 S. Mason Street, therefore the lot line between the buildings isn't really an ownership line. The parking lot serving both lots is a joint parking lot and the best location for a sign is in the middle of the deepest part of the front island. The "Carousel" is in the back of the building, but most of the traffic enters from Mason, so it is important for traffic directional purposes to have signage on Mason. If the sign were setback the required 16 feet it would be in the driveway. --- Staff comments: If the sign were a ground sign, then the 0 setback would comply. The proposed sign could be made into a ground ,S gn by making the base as wide as the sign face. 9'` ) o i Appeal 2073 --- 112 N. Grant Avenue --- Petitioner: Mark and Theresa Jekel --- Zone: NCL Zone --- Section 29-119(4 ) The variance would reduce the required rear yard setback along �? the east lot line from 15 feet to 3 feet in order to allow a new one-car garage to be constructed on this lot located in the NCL zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: This lot is in an older part of town. Many of the detached buildings in the neighborhood are closer than current codes allow. The setback would be consistent with other detached buildings. The owners desire to maintain a usable size back yard. Building the garage at the required setback would put it in the middle of the yard. --- Staff comments: none. Appeal 2074 --- 1605 Remington Street --- Petitioner: Craig Olsen --- Zone: RM Zone --- Section 29-174 (4 ) , 29-178 (5) --- The variance would reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 10 feet, and the required side yard setback along the south lot line from 5 feet to 3 feet for a new, detached, Q 2-car garage in the RM zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The petitioner desires to provide a covered, enclosed parking area. He desires to preserve a mature tree and in order to do this it is necessary to request a side yard variance. The back of the garage will abutt an existing retaining wall which is in place because of changes in elevation of the lot. Because of the smallness of the yards and the elevation changes, it is desirable to keep the garage from encroaching east of the retaining wall. This same variance was approved in September, 1991, but the owner did not build the garage and the variance expired. --- Staff comments: In approving this variance in 1991, the Board believed that this was a case of a narrow lot, topographic conditions, and mature landscaping preservation needs. Appeal 2075 --- 835 Riverside Avenue --- Petitioner: Rod Hanson --- Zone: CL Zone --- Section 29-493( 1) , 29-493 (2) (f) --- The variance would reduce the required 15 foot wide landscape strip behind the sidewalk along Riverside Avenue to 0 feet, and reduce the 10 foot wide landscape strip behind the walk 5 v along Myrtle Street to 0 feet. (The landscaping will be installed between the walk and curb instead of behind the walk) . The variance would also reduce the required 6% interior parking lot landscaping to 1%. The variances are necessary in order to allow the use of the property in the CL zone to change from car wash to car wash/automobile sales. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The lot is an irregular shaped lot and the building already exists. To provide the required landscaping behind the walk and the required interior islands would restrict the efficient movement of vehicles on the lot. Trucks using the truck wash bay would have difficulty maneuvering around islands, and several of the bays would be inaccessible with a 15 foot or 10 foot landscape strip behind the walk. Landscape improvements are planned where possible to improve the site. --- Staff comments: None.
