ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting August 12, 1993 Appeal 2079 --- 2701 Worthington --- Petitioner: Gary and Elaine Purdum --- Zone: RL Zone --- Section 29-511( 1) --- The variance would allow a fence to exceed 4 feet in height r when located within 20 feet of the front property line. �~ Specifically, it would allow a b foot high fence to be constructed all the way to the legal, front property line along Winchester Drive. The home is in the RL zone. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The home is on a corner lot and faces the legal, side lot line, which is along Worthington Avenue. The legal front lot line is along Winchester. The owners would like to enlarge their back yard by extending the fence to Winchester. This, in reality is not their front yard, so the intent of the code is met. If Worthington was the legal, front yard, a variance would not be needed. --- Staff comments: This variance is similar to requests dealing with building setbacks on corner lots. People whose houses face the legal front lot line can place fences in this proposed location without the need for a variance. Appeal 2080 --- 113 S. Whitcomb --- Petitioner: Kerry and Kirsten Howard --- Zone: NCM Zone --- Section 29-167 (4 ) --- The variance would reduce the required rear yard setback from 15 feet to 13.5 feet for a second floor addition to an existing house in the NCM zone. Petitioner's statement of hardship: The lot is shallow and the home is already constructed at a 13.5 foot setback. The second floor addition would line up with the existing rear wall of the home. ---- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2081 --- 1616 Mathews Street --- Petitioner: Ted Garfield --- Zone: RL Zone --- Section 29-133 (5) --- The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the south lot line from 5 feet to 3 feet for a detached �J storage shed in the RL zone. Petitioner' s statement of hardship: There is existing landscaping in the rear and other side of the lot, making it difficult to locate somewhere else. The shed is replacing an older shed which existed at this location, and a concrete pad already exists which the owner would like to utilize. --- Staff comments: None.
