A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQllIREMENT: 205.053 (4A) FRONT YARD SETBACK OF NOT LESS THAN 35 FEET Pub7ic purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. 205.053, (46, #4) SIDE YARD ADJOINING AN ATTACHED GARAGE SHALL BE NOT LESS THAN 5 FEET WIDE.� �' Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide space between individual structures to reduce conflagration of fire, to provide access to the rear yard for emergencies and limit the condition of crowding in the residential neighborhood. 205.053 (4C) A REAR YARD DEPTH OF NOT LESS THAN 25 PERCENT OF THE LOT , Public purpose�served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood. B. STATED HARQSHIP: The reason for hardship is for the steep slope of the lot downward from the street. Eievation change from curb to south property corner is 50.82 feet (1008.5 - 957.68 sea level). To build the house in the center of the lot would require the garage to be on top of the house. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: An on site inspection shows excessively steep grades on the lot. The applicant would like to fill the lot on the north side and avoid the steepest part of the 7ot. The verifying survey shows (in orange) the area involved which require variances. The new garage would line up with ihe front line of the attached garage to the north and would be 22.4 feet from tfiat existing garage. The garage will be approximate]y 27 feet from the curb on the Fillmore Street cul-de-sac. The applicant's drawing indicates the type of house proposed. _.

ADMINISTRATTVE STAFF REVIEW: an on site inspection shows excessively steep grades on the lot. The applicant would like to fi17 the lot on the north side and avoid the steepest part of the lot. The verifying survey shows (in orange) the area involved wh9ch require variances. The new garage would line up � � with the front line of the attached garage to the north and would be : 22.4 feet from tkiat existing garage. The garage will be approximately 27 feet from the curb on the Fillmore�Street�cul-de-sac. The applicant's drawing andicates the type of house proposed. • Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. BZiss to explain how he t�r�s going to build on that lot. Ms. Schnabel stated that the Ccmnnission has a copy of�the survey� and the drawings of the house. Mr. Bliss gave the Com�ission a photograph of the lot and pointed out Mr. Ax�mentrout's house which is ta the nvrth, 5222. Mr. Bliss stated that 5222 has a single . attached garage on the south side oi his house. There ie a drivewqy going dawn bebind e�d there is a garage underneath this garage. There is a space of 20.4 feet between his garag� and the lot line. Nh�. Bliss stated that he fe requesting � variance because he wants to keep his garage snd house as far tQ the north as possible and �ould like to buiid a house with the north side oP the house into � the hi21, to help eolar heating to the south. He is requesting a.variance to iceep it even with the g�rage to the north, which 3s 5222, and if he builda wi�h s ncu^�nal satback o�' 35 ieet, he will have to build a garage quite a�ys back because he must have aceess to the garage fro�► Fillmore. I� he built the garage � to the south� it would have a vexy steep point arver the hill, �hich might obstruct kfr. Boomer's view to the west. By keeping the house to the north, he xi].l not � pb:st2'LtCt Mr. Armentrout's =(5222) view; because he has a porch on the back of his house behind the gsrage on the same level as the street. Mr�. Bliss stated that he Would like to get the 2 foot side yard setback in order to avoid such a steep incline going to the garage. Mr. Blies stated that it is possible that somae t'uture rnmer wc»uld like to add oo� to this garage, but feela it is unlikely� because it Will meke the garage underneatb unuseable. So there �rill still be � 20.� feet plus an additianal 2 feet to his garage. He choose a 2 foat side yard in order to heve accesa tor maintenance for this surtace oi the garage.

Another reason is that he waated the garage cioser to the etreet. Thia, garage will not extend further out than the other housea in the block. He is requesting that his garage be even sri.th the others. 1r1rr. Bliss stated that the only cbange in the draw�i.ngs ao�.l,d possibl,y be to make the garage less wide� and perhape deeper.

Ms. Schnabel said she could un�derstaud wY�y he vranted to kcep tbe elevation up.

Item 2 September 19, 1978 Q ADMINIS7RATIVE STAFF REPORT 5212 Fillmore Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQllIREMENT: 205.053 �4A) FRONT YARD SETBACK OF NOT LESS THAN 35 FEET Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. 205.053, (4B, #4) SIDE YARD ADJOINING AN ATTACHED GARAGE SHALL BE NOT LESS THAN 5 FEET WIDE.` Pualic purpose served by this requirement is to provide space between individual structures to reduce conflagration of fire, to provide access to the rear yard for emergencies and limit the condition of crowding in the residential neighborhood. 205.053 (4C) A REAR YARD DEPTH OF NOT LESS THAN 25 PERCENT OF THE LOT 0 Public purpose=-served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood. 6. STATED HARDSHIP: _ The reason for hardship is for the steep slope of the lot downward from the street. Elevation change from curb to south property corner is 50.82 feet (1008.5 - 957.68 sea level). To build the house in the center of the lot would require the garage to be on top of the house. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAF� REVIEW: An on site inspection shows excessively steep grades on the lot. The applicant would like to fill the lot on the north side and avoid the steepest part of the lot. The verifying survey shows (in orange) the ' area involved which require variances. The new garage would line up with the front line of the attached garage to the north and would be 22.4 feet from tliat existing garage. The garage will be approximately 27 feet from the curb on the Fillmore Street cul-de-sac.

Mr. Bliss gave the Co�mnission a photograph of the lot and pointed out Mr. �rmentrout's house which is to the north, 5222. Mr. Bliss stated that 5222 hss a single . attached garage on the sauth side of his house. There is a driveway going down bebind e� there is a garage underneath this garage. There is a space of 20.�+ ieet between his garage and the lot line. r+h�. Bliss stated that he ia requesting s� variance because he wants to keep his garage snd house as far to the north as possible and Kould lil�e to buiid a house with the north side oP the house into the hill� to l�elp solar heating to the south. He is requesting a.variance to Yeep it even with the g�rage to the north, which 3e 5222� and if he builds wi�h s nvrmal setback oY 35 feet, he will have to build a garage quite a ways back because he must have access to the garage iroan Fillmore. IS he built the garage to the south� it would have a very steep point aver the hill, xhich might obstruct Mr. Boomer's view to the west. By keeping the house to the north� he wi.11 not � obstruC'� Mr. Armentrout's �(5222) view; because he has a porch on the back of his house behind the garage on the same level as the street. Nir. Bliss stated that he Wot�2d like to get the 2 foot side yard setback in order to avoid such e steep incline going to the garage. Mr. Bliss stated that it is possib].e that so�e tuture rnmer aould like to add aoa to this garage, but feels it is unlikely, because it Will mske the garage underneath unuseable. 5o there will still-be � 20.� feet plus an additianal 2 leet to his garage.

Another reason is that he wanted the garage closer to the street. This garage jr1.11 aot extend further out than the other houses in the block. He is requesting that his garage be �ven �ith tbe athers. l�c. Bliss stated that the only change in the drawings srpuid possibly be to make the garage less wid�� ar�d perhaps deeper. Mr. Bliss stated that if the varience were not grau�ed�-they will hsve to mave the hause �urther do�wu the hill which would obstruct views,.and mave the gara�e tawards the rear of the lot, which wi].]. necessitate drivi.ng down a hi.11 to the ga�age, causing iee problems. Ms. Schnabel said ehe could urxierstaud why he �►anted to keep the elev�tion up.
