PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: B. C. section 205.0�.o3.D(3)(a) requires a rear less than 25$ of the lot depth with not permitted or more than 40 feet required. yard depth of not less than 25 feet Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood and provide adequate separation between buildings. STATED HARDSHIP: "The arranqement of the house allows the north side to be the only possible location for the proposed porch addition to enjoy the outdoor environment. The garage is on the west, bedrooms are on the east, and the south does not lend itself to any construction. The house was built in 1956 when current setbacks were not in existence. The porch addition would not detract from the appearance. The area of setback affected borders on an undeveloped creek bank. This bank is not in the flood plain." ADMZNISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Request The petitioner, Norman Herzog, is proposing to construct an enclosed porch with a deck onto his house located on a portion of Lot 38 of Auditor's Subdivision No. 77, the same being 115 Glen Creek Road. The proposed 16 ft. x 13.6 ft. addition would encroach into the rear yard setback, reducing it from 33 feet to 17 feet. Site The parcel is located on Glen Creek and is in an R-1 Single Family Dwelling District. The parcel does not abut any street right-of-ways, and the petitioner has an easement for access to Glen Creek Road. The parcel is heavily vegetated with deciduous and evergreen plant materials. Analysis The required rear yard setback as stated in the Code is 25% of the lot depth with not less than 25 feet or more than 40 feet permitted (Section 205.07.03.D.(3)(a)). This setback has been required since the adoption of the Code in 1955. Staff Report VAR #89-08, 115 Glen Creek Road Page 3 An analysis of the lot survey reveals that the house has been placed 28 feet from the rear lot line, leading staff to believe that in 1956 the minimum 25 feet was used as the required rear yard setbacks. Staff calculated the rear yard setback by adding the two sides, dividing by two, and takinq 25� of that, equalling 33 feet. To make the above determination, staff looked at the placement of the house and the access to Glen Creek. Since the access and the house face the south, staff determined that the rear yard was to the north. The petitioner also has an easement for access to East River Road to the east. If this easement had been used, the proposed porch addition would have been in the side yard, negating the need for a variance. Structures to the rear are located across Glen Creek on lots that are 300 feet deep. Because of this, the concern for separation of buildings becomes moot. Adequate vegetation also screens this rear yard. Engineering has expressed a concern about erosion of the creek bank during construction of the addition. The addition will be constructed on piers on frost footings. Since a full basement will not be used, disturbance of the topography should be minimal. The petitioner should install silt fence around the construction area to prevent erosion. Recommendation The location of the lot is unique in comparison to other properties in the area. Because there is more than one interpretation of the Code that applies to the lot, and because there will be minimal impact onto adjacent properties, staff recommends that the Appeals Commission approve VAR #$9- 08 to reduce the required rear yard setback from 33 feet to 17 feet. _ �.

SARNA DECLARED TH8 Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing to construct a 16 ft. x 13.6 ft. enclosed porch with a deck onto his house. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling District and Glen Creek passes to the north of the property. The property is virtually landlocked. The petitioner has an easement for access to Glen Creek Road. Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending the Appeals Commission approve the variance due to several features: 1. As previously mentioned, the property does not abut any street riqht-of-ways which makes the property essentially landlocked except for an easement to the south between two lots to Glen Creek Road. In the "Stated Hardship", the petitioner stated that "the house was built in 1956 when current setbacks were not in existence." In reality, the Zoning Code was in existence in 1955. But, in looking at the placement of the house on the original survey, it appears the house was placed 28 feet from the rear lot line, leading staff to believe that in 1956 the minimum 25 feet was used as the required rear yard setback. Staff calculated the rear yard setback by adding the two sides, dividing by two, and taking 25� of that, making the rear yard setback actually 33 feet. Because the house and the access face the south, staff determined that the rear yard is to the north. 3. The parcel abuts Glen Creek. There is adequate separation between the proposed addition and any buildings across the Creek. There are a lot of evergreens and deciduous vegetation on the property, so staff feels there is adequate separation of the visual or physical intrusion onto adjacent properties. Ms. McPherson stated the Enqineering Department has raised the concern of the potential for erosion, and staff has suggested that the petitioner use some silt fence to help prevent any erosion. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner will not be putting a full basement under the porch. He will just be using frost footings so the amount of soil to be disturbed would be as large an area as _ �� x� - • � ,�- c needed to accommodate the diameter of the required footing. She ctated that erosion vas a concern, Dut she did not feel it was a larqe concern because there is no full basement, and they will not be moving a lot of dirt. The Appeals Commission could add this as a etipulation if they felt it was a concern. Mr. Norman Herzog etated they desire to have a three season porch so that they can enjoy the natural area and the Creek. The propoaed location of the addition is the only spot on the house vhere they can build a porch. To the west is the garage; the bedrooms are on the east, and the front of the house (south) does not lend itself to an addition. Mr. Herzog 6tated that at this time of year, the houses across the Creek can hardly be seen because of the veqetation. He stated the unusual thinq about their lot is they do not own the property from the bank down to the Creek. In a normal situation, they should own the property down to the Creek. The owners of the properties two Iots over do own the land down to the Creek. Dr. Vos stated that in other words if the Herzoq's owned what they should have, they would not need this variance. Mr. Herzog stated Glen Creek is an undeveloped creek like Rice Creek. He stated the land is completely flat where they intend to build the porch, and he did not envision any kind of erosion problem.
