This request was originally heard by the Board on June 10, 2004 but was tabled to July 8, 2004 and continued to August 12, 2004 in order to allow the applicant time to submit additional plans illustrating how the impacts of the reduced setback might be mitigated. Code Sections: 4.3(D)(2)(c) Petitioner: Scott Brink ZoningDistrict RL Appeal: 2473 224 WOOD ST The variance would reduce the required side setback along the south lot line from 5'to 0' in order to allow the existing roof of the detached garage to be removed and replaced with a new roof. Additionally, the height of the garage wall will be increased by about 8". The existing roof overhangs the property line, but the new roof will be flush with the property line. The existing garage wall is already at a 0' setback. The new roof and wall height result from the proposed construction project to connect the detached garage to the house. Code Sections: 4.7(E)(4) Petitioner: Jeff Pierce ZoningDistrict NCM Appeal: 2474 1427 W MOUNTAIN AVE The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the west lot line from 9 feet to 6 feet and reduce the required side yard setback along the east lot line from 8 feet to 6 feet in order to allow a new 2- story house to be constructed in approximately the same location as the existing house that is proposed to be demolished. The setback requirement is based on the height of the walls along the lot lines. The 26' high wall on the west requires a 9' setback and the 24' high wall on the east requires an 8' setback.

This request was originally heard by the Board on June 10, 2004 but was tabled to July 8, 2004 and continued to August 12, 2004 in order to allow the applicant time to submit additional plans illustrating how the impacts of the reduced setback might be mitigated. Hardship Moving the shed to comply with the required setback would put it in the middle of the back yard. The proposed shed location is in keeping with the setbacks of other existing sheds in the neighborhood. Staff Comments The applicant has submitted the additional documentation that the Board requested at the June hearing on this matter. The material would seem to address the issues of concern to the Board. G � Appeal 2473 Address 224 WOOD ST Petitioner Jeff Pierce Zoning District NCM Section 4.7(E)(4) Description The variance would reduce the required side setback along the south lot line from 5' to 0' in order to allow the existing roof of the detached garage to be removed and replaced with a new roof. Additionally, the height of the garage wall will be increased by about 8". The existing roof overhangs the property line, but the new roof will be flush with the property line. The existing garage wall is already at a 0' setback. The new roof and wall height result from the proposed construction project to connect the detached garage to the house. Hardship The lot is very narrow, only 35' wide. The existing roof is in disrepair, and a new roof is proposed in order to tie it in with the proposed addition. The additional 8" of wall height is desirable so that the garage wall height will match the height of the wall on the rest of the house. The new roof will result in closer compliance to the setback requirement than does the existing roof since the existing encroaches over the right-of-way. Staff Comments None. Appeal 2474 Address 1427 W MOUNTAIN AVE hs Steve Josephs p Zoning District NCL Section 4.6(E)(4) Description The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the west lot line from 9 feet to 6 feet and reduce the required side yard setback along the east lot line from 8 feet to 6 feet in order to allow a new 2-story house to be constructed in approximately the same location as the existing house that is proposed to be demolished. The setback requirement is based on the height of the walls along the lot lines. The 26' high wall on the west requires a 9' setback and the 24' high wall on the east requires an 8' setback. Hardship The home is designed to be a zero energy house. In order to maximize the amount of roof area available for solar collector cells, a hip roof is not desirable. A large cottonwood tree on the neighboring property will reduce the efficiency of the solar energy system unless the amount of solar cells is increased to the maximum amount. Staff Comments One of the hardship "standards"that the Board can consider is "the existence of a physical condition that hinders the owner's ability to install a solar energy system". The Board can determine whether or not this standard for a variance is met. G s-� •a Other Business
