Code, to reduce the required front yard setbaak from 48.7 feet,
to 42.0 feet on Lot 27 and the south 12 of Lot 28, Block 4, Oak

PATRICIA GABEL
CHAIRWOMAN
APPEALS COMMISSION
Note: The Appeals Commission will have the final action on this request, unless
there are objections from surrounding neigh6or,s, the City Staff, or the petitioner
does not agree with the Comnission's decision. If any of these events accur, the
request v�ill continue to the City Council through the Planning Commission with only
a recorrmendation from the Appeals Corrrtnission.
Item �3, June 28, 1983
ADMINI3TRATIVE 3TAFF REPORT
6573 Arthur Street N.E.
A. POBLIC PIIRPOSE SEaTiED BY RBQUIxBME11T:
Section 205.153 i2) requires that in areas with front yard setbaeks greater
than the minimum, the average of the setbaeks for buildings within 100 feet
on either side shall prevail, with a deviation allowed of six feet more or
less.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to ensure that any nex
struetures do not greatly impede the fro nt yard "line of sight" for the
existing house sites.
B. STATBD HARDSHIP:
"With two children presently and one due in January, we have outgroWn our
house. We have prieed houses on the market and cannot afford to move and
we do like our present location. Building an addition wo uld give us
adequate room Por a growing family at a price we can afford. Our house is
a two bedroom with 768 square Peet. Also, adding onto the f ront is
economical and more logical. and desireabZe than going any other direetion."
C. ADMINI3TRATIVE STAFF REYIEW:
In 1978, the petitioner had planned to convert the existing attaehed garage
to living area and build a new garage off the alley. They have since
changed their minds and now would like to add onto the fro nt of the house.
To do this they will need a Pront yard varianee.
With the proposed addition, the strueture will be 42 feet from the front
lot line. The required setbaek for this lot is 48 feet due to the large
front yard setbacks the neighboring struetures have established.
If the Board approves this request, we have no reeommended stipulations.

Appeals Commission Meeting - June 28, 1983 PaQe 5
Mr. Betzold questioned the hardship in this matter. Mr. Van Hulzen said the �ain
hardship is that his wife Nishes to take care of the family and still work, that she
�eeds the job and this is the least expensive and most economical to accomptish
this. He said other options would cause considerable disturba e and expense;
the entrya►ay wou�d then have to be through the back yard i o the basement and
through the laundry room and the pool in the back yard wo d have to be fenced off.
He felt this would also be additional disturbance to t neighbors and the existing
area is the right size. Ms. Gabel felt the hardship s now defined much better
and stated she had visited the area and there woul be a safety factor with customers
and the pool and the construction costs are obv' s and this appears to be a better
way.

been removed in this matter an he has no probtem with the variance. Mrs. Gerou
and Mr. Barna concurred. Mr Betzold felt the additional information has clarified
the issues.
MpTION by Mr. Betzold, conded by Mrs. Garou, that the Appeals Comnission has reconsidered
tts earlier recommend ion to the City Council, and based upon additional information

measurements himself. Ms. Gabel asked what the space is to be used for. Mr. Gerrety
said they want to convert the living room into a dining room and have a new bedroom

Mr. Gerrety he will have a contractor do this and everything will be tied in.
