ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting July 8, 1993 Appeal 2076 --- 900 E Lincoln Avenue --- Petitioner: Kieth Hess, owner. --- Zone: IL Zone --- Section 29-493( i ) , 29-493 (2) ( f) The variance would eliminate the requirement to provide a 5 ' wide landscape area along the perimeter lot lines of the rear portion of the lot where a new storage building is going to be nstructed, as well as eliminate required interior landscape ' islands in the rear portion of the lot adjacent to the new building. Instead, the petitioner proposes to install landscaping along the street to take the place of the required landscaping at the rear. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The lot is very deep - 606 feet. The construction of the new building at the back requires only the rear portion of the lot to be landscaped. The landscaping will not be visible from the street because the existing building and vehicles would totally screen it. Therefore, no public benefit would be obtained by installing the landscaping as required. In addition, the movement of large trucks around the new parts storage building would be hindered by installing landscape islands. The owner is willing to install landscaping, but would rather put it out front where more public benefit would be obtained. Since the Code doesn't require the front landscaping, the variance request, in reality, simply relocates the landscaping on the lot to a more practical location. --- Staff comments: The peculiar situation of the lot in this case (hardship) may be that it is unusually deep. Appeal 2077 --- 720 Peterson Street --- Petitioner: Barry Baker, owner. --- Zone: NCM Zone --- Section 29-167 (3) --- The variance would reduce the required front yard setback from 15 feet to 10.5 feet for a covered front entry extension. The proposed addition is to a single family home in the NCM zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The owners are going to remodel the home and restore parts of the home to its original character. The proposal includes changing the existing side entry to a front entry. In order to do this a landing is required. The owners will use the original columns for the new covered entry. The entry will still be 30.5 feet from the street. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2078 --- 1535 Remington --- Petitioner: John and Lorene Clarke, owners. --- Zone: NCL Zone --- Section 29-511 ( 2) --- The variance would allow a fence to be taller than 6 feet high. Specifically, the variance would allow a fence to be 8 feet high along the west property line and along a portion of the south property line. The home is located in the NCL zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The petitioners desire to use the home for the location of their photography studio, which will be conducted as a home occupation. When outdoor portraits are taken, a backdrop taller than the subject is necessary. Therefore, a 6 foot high fence won't work. The property is adjacent to the new drive-up lane for the new Taco Bell, and is also along a major arterial road. The 8 foot fence is also proposed to act as a visual and sound barrier from the adjacent Taco Bell. --- Staff comments: None. l� r � l �
