Item #3 August 14, 1979
ADMINISTRATNE 5TAFF REPORT
355 Hugo Street N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREN�TT:
Section 205.053, 4A, requires a mini.mum front yard set�ack of 35 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide open space for
off-street parking without encroaching onto public rig+�Y�t of way. Also for
the aesthetic consideration not to reduce the "building line of sight"
encroachment into a neighbor's front yard.
B. 5TATED HARDSHIP:
"The normal 35 foot setback would place the. house behind both adjoining
houses and would place it in the creek bed. It is requested that the setback
be the average setback (26� feet) between the two adjoining houses."
C. ADMINI5TRATIVE 5TAFF REVI�I'ni:
With the approval of the variance, the off street parking would be 28� feet
including the 2 foot boulevard area. Parking could all be ma.intained on the
property without encroaching onto public right of way. The building line of
sight would not be encroached upon as the house to the west was granted a
front yard variance to 30.8 feet (verified at 29.5) in May of 1976 to construct
an attached garage and the house to the east was built in 1948 with a setback
of 23.3 feet. Other houses along this block also have less tha� the 35 foot
setback due to the natural terrain of the land and the location of the creek.
The Department of Natural Resources was contacted and has approved construction
on this lot with certain conditions in relation to keeping the creek banks in
their natural state. Granting approval of this variance would not be setting
a precedent for fr.vnt yard variances in this area and would allow development
of these lots.

With the approval of the vaxiance, the off street parking would be 28�i feet
including the 2 foot bouleeard area. Parking could all be maintained on the
property without �ncroaching onto public right of way. The building ],ine of
sight would not be encroached upon as the house to the west was granted a
front yard variance to 30.8 feet (verified at 29.5) in May of 1976 to construct
an attached qarage and the house to the east was built in 1948 with a setback
of 23.3 feet. Ott±er houses along this block also have less thart the 35 foot .
setback due to the natural terrain of the land and the location of the creek.
The Department of Natural Resources was contacted and has approved construction
on this lot with certain conditions in relation to keeping the creek banks in
their natural state. Granting approval of this variance would not be setting
a precedent for front yard variances in this area and would allow development .
of these lo ts. .
P�Is. Schnabel commented�that it v�as a nice wooded lot and hoped he
would save as many trees as possible. �
PJIs. Gabel agreed that the trees should be saved and noted that lze
ha.d done a nice job at the other houses he had built.
P'Ir. Doyle, the petitioner� stated that his map would show the pr�oblem
better than the aerial photograph. He stated that he had his surveyor
go out and show them the water line on the map. The creek was the
culpret. L^Jhat he �vould like to do is put a home in here that v�ill not
be as big as the normal 960. It �rould be about.9�0 on the main floor
arid he was trying to uuark it in� ���ith a garage which v�as -tough on this
lot. He shovaed the Co�!unissioners his proposal. The widest garage he
could get an the lot was a single car garage. The house would have a
walkout from the lower level laoking out to the creek. He could put
in a house without a garage and meet all the requirements but wanted
to put in the gara�;e.
Mro Plemel agreed that he should have the gar�ge.
Mr. Doyle stated that previous owner of the lot.got letters from the
DNR and had soil borin5s taken and surveys done and did an extensive
amount of work. They took three soil borings. He stated it would
require extra work but `vould work out.
T�r. �emper asked if he had a buyer and what the price would be.
Mr. Doyle stated that he did not have a buyer. The price would depend
on rvhether or not h.e finished the lower level. If the lower level
were not �'inished� it would run in the mid to upper �50's. I:'ir. Doyle
stated tliat he �g�ould like to fini.sh the lower level himself and that
would push the price up to the �80's.

T�Is. Gabel asked''if there would be two �inished bedrooms on the upper
lev�l?
Mr. Doyle�stated that he could make it two� but he would like to put
in one large bedroom up and t�vo bedrooms down.
t�is. Gabel stated that then he would almost have to finish the lower
level especially if he soid'.to a family with children.
P�r. Doyle stated that for a small house, it offer.ed a lot of room. The
dimensions v�ere 24 x 36 and with the entryway it would be a little over
940 square feet. Altog�ther, up and,down� about 175D square feet.
Tti'Is. Gabel asked if he would put rooms over the garage?
1�Zr. Doyle stated he wouldn't with this plan. That would be a 2-story
situation.
�T�s. Sehnabel stated that they were concerned:about his staying away
from -the water line.
NTr. Do;�le stated that he was well aware of that, and he would�take
extra precaution about that.
T:�s. Gabel asked if they would have to do any banking or terracing?
P:Tr. Doyle stated that they.would have to do a little and he v�ould
like to create a creek-garden-side effect. �
Ms. Gabel stated that then the ce�ent block on the back of �the garage
would be exposed.
Mr. Doyle stated that was correct.
Ms. Schnabel stated that there was a telephone pole in the middle of
the lot and asked if they would move it?
P'!r. Doyle stated that �'SP would have to move it.
T�Ts. Schnabel read a letter from Ronald Harnack of the DNR dated
October 27, 1978• The letter was addressed to Steve Geis. A copy
of the letter is attached to the minutes.
