A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT Section 205.053, (4,6(1)) requires a 10 food side yard setback for living area to a side lot line. The public purpose served by this section is to maintain a 20 foot open space between living areas in a residential district. This reduces exposure to confla�ra�ion of fire and also allows for aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures. Section 205.053 (4,A) requires a front yard setback of 35 feet. The public purpose served by this section is to provide an open area in front of an attached garage for parking without encroachment into the public right of way. It also allows for aesthetically pleasing open area between the structure and the street and prohibits the encroachment in�o the line of sight for neighboring structures. B. STATED HARDSHIP: It is practical to add over the present garage for living space due to the layout.of the floor plan. At present the living area i� in the front south�ast corner, and kitchen in the front southwest making it convenient to build to the original layout. The foundation is already in place due to the garage and it would be least expensive to build in this location. Any addition to the back corners of the house would interfere with sleeping areas, and much more expensive due to a new foundation and l�ndscaping. The proposed garage would be elevated above the street level 18", and there would be access to the living area through it. At present the garage is approximately 4 feet below the street level, and drainage is into the driveway and garage level. Adding a new garage to this area is also convenient to the layout of original house with little relandscaping needed. The new garage would make it a double instead of the present 1 stall garage. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The first requested variance is to reduce the required 10 foot side yard to 9 feet. The neighboring structure to the east is located 14.5 feet east of the common line, therefore, the desired 20 feet between structures will not be reduced by the approval of this request (the distance between will be 23.5 feet). Therefore staff has no structural modification that it would recommend if the Board approved this part of the variance request. The second requested variance is to reduce the required 35 foot front yard setback to 18.3 feet. The reduction in the required front yard setback is substantial, and the opinion of the neighbors affected will have to be considered. The desired off-street parking area can be obtained by having the garage door open off the west side of the proposed garage, as does the existing garage. The new proposed improvements will provide for better drainage away from the Administrative Staff Report 1367 Fireside Drive NE Page 2 garage, as does the existing structure. Therefore, if the Board approves this portion of the request, we would concur with the petitioner's plan to raise the existing grade and have the new driveway enter the west end of the new garage. . . � __ _ `� B.

The construction of a house similar ta the house to the nor�t:h would genera7ly� in � op3.nion' upgrade the neighborhoad, and in the oPinion of this Board I believe. The major difference would be that this was a presen�l,y o�nmed 1ot. e) The lot is an. 3nterior lot: This lot is an 3nterior lot. The mos�i impor�ant item to my mind is that �his is not a tax forfeit lot. This is a lot which is presently owned. by a pr3.v�te party and this wovlcl be the major difference between this and o-Eher requests to the Board.. Tt has a home on the lot which has been detex•mined not-rentable and � in Mr. Barria's opinion this �eques�t was 100� different Erom other requests for �0 ioot ].ots that have come before the Boardo Mr. Barna s-�ated he felt this was a rehabilatation of the lot rather �han a rehabilit�t3.on of i�he house. Ms. Schnabel noted that the current o4mer had signed the pe�ition and because of this it wouZd not be a speculative type of thing such as they have had before. Also� . there ,aas a request in May o� �96g which was similar to this and 3t was approved. I�Tr.

He could not see where they could say tear darym a building that was maybe reparable and build one that would cost more and take 3t out of the reach of the people who could afford the house as it exists. Mr. Barna stated he knaws of m�y people who would b� it an.d rehabilitate it. . Ms. Schnabel stated that considerin� the arn.ount of wark the house needed and the eize oY the lot� they Would be maybe interested in a house that would not require so much work. Mr. Barna stated the main point m3ght be the lot size.

There could be the dis�inction that they Trrould permi-� construction on � foot lots in the interior of blocks ii there was an existing struc�ure there which was considered non-rehabitable. 5o consequently� they would permit existiug structures -�o be removed and replaced by a dwe7ling because the problems af rehabing �rhat was 'chere would be so �reat, and. that would be a separate issue from a currently vacant �+0 foot lot.
