Mulberry Street --- Petitioner: Helen Bockman --- Zone: RL Zone --- Section 29-133(2) --- The variance would reduce the required lot width from 60 feet to 50 feet for a new single family home to be built on an U undeveloped lot in the RL zone. --- Petitioner's statement of hardship: The lot is a legal, nonconforming lot, which was platted as part of an older subdivision which contains all 50 foot wide lots. This parcel w also has a 50 foot lot width. Nothing can be built without a variance. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal 2125 --- 900 Elm St. --- Petitioner: Jana Thornton --- Zone: NCM Zone --- Section 29-167 (4) --- The variance would reduce the rear setback requirement from 15 ft. to 3 ft. for a 12 ' X 8 1/2 ' storage shed. The shed is 11 ft. to the peak of the roof. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The owner contacted the Building Inspection office to determine whether or not a permit would be required for their proposed shed. As long as the shed doesn't exceed 120 sq. ft. and 8 ft. in height, a SO permit is not required and the setback regulations do not apply. There was a misunderstanding as to whether the 8 ft. height applied to the wall height or to the peak of the roof. The owner believed that a permit was not required based on the information received, however, now finds that a permit is required and setbacks must be complied with based on the 11 ft. height. Moving it to comply would place the shed in the middle of the yard. The shed is on an existing foundation. --- Staff comments: None.
