Item #3 June 14, 1977
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
1401 North Innsbruck Drive
A. PUBLIC PURPOSED SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.053, 4, C, requiring a rear yard setback equal to one fourth
(k) of the lot depth with a 25 foot minimum.
Public purpose served is to provide desired rear yard space to be
used for green areas which add to the attractability of the neighborhood.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
By facing house due west, mature White Oaks and Poplar would be
destroyed or the elevation to the garage would be too great from
North Innsbruck Drive. By facing the house southwest, on the angle,
mature trees would be destroyed to make garage accessible.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Facing the house to the south means the actual rear yard is on the
north side. The City Code defines the front yard on a corner lot
as the shortest side, therefore, the west side is the front and the
length of the house protrudes into the "technical" rear yard to the
east. The house to the east faces West Danube Road and not North
Innsbruck Drive. The layout appears to fit in with the existing
neighborhood.

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING:-- JUNE 14, 1977 PAGE 9
Mr. Barna asked Mr. Holden if a fire door and fire wall
would be required between the family room and garage and
if the room would be heated year round since it would be a
part of the living area.
Mr. Holden said that Mr. Frisk would have to remove the
present paneling and install 5/8^ sheetrock on both sides
of the wall that would be common between the garage and the
family room. He also said that a solid core door or a rated
metal door would have to be installed between the family room
and the garage.
Mr. Frisk requested Mr. Holden to go out to his property
to be sure that he is meeting all the 'codes•
Mr. Holden said that he would have to have a layout plan
when Mr. Frisk applied for his building permit-
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Ms. Gabel, to close
the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously -
Mr. Barna agreed with Vr• Weems that the proposed plan
would enhance the home and the neighborhood and it would
give additional living space and he would have no objections.
Mr. Plemel said that with the assurance that Mr. Frisk
would work with Mr. Holden, he would have no objections.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Ms. Gabel , that
the Appeals Commission approve the request for a variance of
Section 205.053, 41 B, to reduce the 10 foot setback
requirement on the living area side of the house to five

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — JUNE 141 1977 PAGE 10
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT=
Section 205.053, 4, C, requiring a rear yard setback
equal to one fourth {1/4} of the lot depth with a
25 foot minimum.
Public purpose served is to provide desired rear yard
space to be used for green areas which add to the
attractability of the neighborhood.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
By facing house due west, mature White Oaks and Poplar
would be destroyed or the elevation to the garage
would be too great from North Innsbruck Drive. By
facing the house southwest, on the angle, mature trees
would-be destroyed to make garage accessible.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Facing the house to the south means the actual rear yard
is on the north side. The City Code defines the front
yard on a corner lot as the shortest side, therefore,
the west side is the front and the length of the house
protrudes into the "technical" rear yard to the
east. The house to the east faces West Danube Road
and not North Innsbruck Drive. The layout appears to
fit in with the existing neighborhood.
Mr. Marchant showed the Appeals Commission the plans
he had for the construction of a home. He explained to
the Commission his understanding of the City Code regarding
how to define what is the rear yard of a lot.
Mr. Marchant said that they had examined the possibility
of facing the house due west and explained that the problems
would be the loss of a tree that would end up in front of a,
proposed garage door. He felt the way that they propose to
situate the house on the lot would result in the loss of the
fewest number of trees. He went on to explain that to
situate the house facing north the problem would-be an
approximate three foot incline in a 35 foot area. He said
that even though that would face South he felt there would
be a problem with snowpacking and ice forming on the incline.
He explained that the way the plan is proposed there would be
only an approximate 6 inch incline
I APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — JUNE 141 19?? PAGE 11
r
Chairwoman Schnabel asked Mr. Marchant where the
garage entrance would be located.
Mr. Marchant responded that it would be on Matterhorn.
Mr• Marchant explained that basically the request
was based on aesthetics and the wish to save the trees
and also he felt that the house he planned would fit the
lot best as shown on the plans.
Chairwoman Schnabel asked Mr. Marchant if he would
want the house to face Matterhorn.
Mr. Marchant said that he would not basically because
if the garage would face North, he would lose the White Oak
tree and if the garage faced South he would have the
incline problem.
There was some discussion on several other options
as to how to situate the house on the property, none of
which were satisfactory with Mr. Marchant.
Mr• Marchant favored the situation of.the garage with
the entrance to the side of the home rather than having
the garage entrance on the front side of the home•
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr• Barna, that the
Appeals Commission receive the letter from
Mr• Kenneth Bureau of 5630 West Dan O --e Road in which
he states that he would not object to Mr. Marchant's
proposed house being as close as 25 feet of his West
property line. Upon a voice vote, all voting, aye the
motion carried and the letter was received.
Mr- Plemel asked if the home was being built for
Mr. Marchant's private use or would it be sold.
Mr. Marchant responded that it would be his own
residence.
The Appeals Commission reviewed Mr. Marchant's
house plans.
Mr. Barna expressed that he could see Mr. Marchant's
reasoning for not wanting the garage door on the front
side of the house.
A
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — JUNE 14, 1977 PAGE 12
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close
the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote,all voting aye,the
motion carried unanimously.
Ms. Gabel said that she felt Mr. Marchant had looked
into several alternatives and she also felt that the plan
he had would probably be the best for the lot.
Mr. Plemel thought it was a nice structure and the
situation on the lot would be the most logical.
Mr. Barna liked the way Mr. Marchant planned to
situate the garage in relationship with the front
of the house.
MOTION by Ms. Gabel, seconded by Mr. Barna,
that the Appeals Commission approve the request for a variance
of Section 205.053, 4, C, to reduce the rear yard setback
requirement of 25% of the Lot from 34 feet to 27 feet, to

1401 North Innsbruck Drive N.E. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, the motion carried unanimously•
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that Mr. Marchant was
now free to apply for a Building Permit.

an extra copy.of the Administrative Report in the folder
so that the Commission can give one to the petitioner.
