ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6800 Oakley Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.07.3D.2c.1 requires the side yward setback on a street side of a corner lot to be not less than seventeen and one-half (17.5) feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment Into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "I would like to build my garage at the same setback distance that my house is from the curb line on 68th Avenue. This would keep the house and garage in line for a neat appearance and save as much of the back yard as possible." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The only thing the staff would ask the Board to consider is that the garage be placed 20 feet off the street right of way so as to provide space to park a vehicle in front of the garage door without encroaching Into the street right of way. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 23, 1985 PAGE 7 Mr. Clark stated that if indeed the petitioner needs more storage space, to meet code he can only add about 10 ft. onto the existing garage, which would probably not look too good to people driving by, and it would not give him room for a breezeway. He stated this was a smaller home, built in 1956, and most new homes are built much larger than this.' He stated he has not gotten a permit for a house to be built less than 1,000 sq. ft. for the last five years. He did not know if it was good to haveithe code changed for just one instance. Mr. Betzold stated that, in other words, if the petitioner had happened to have a larger house, he would not have needed the variance. That helped clarify the situation a little more, but he still felt this particular provision in tffie code needed to be reviewed again. MOTION BY MR. BETZOLD, SECONDED BY MR.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 214.11.2B limits the maximum size of eight (80) square feet in area for a free standing sign. Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual pollution and excessive use of signs in commercial areas. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 23,1985 PAGE 11 Mr. Clark stated this variance request was similar to the variance request on Channel Road. He stated the house right behind the petitioner on Pandora was closer to 68th Ave. than what the proposed garage would be at 172- ft. He stated the petitioner has a single car garage off Oakley St. The petitioner has requested a special use permit for two garages. At their last meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the special use permit. That recommendation, along with the variance request, will go to City Council on May 6. Mr. Anderson stated he would like to keep the garage in line with the house. As it was, he was going to have to sacrifice three trees. If the garage was to be moved back to 20 ft., he would probably lose a fourth tree. Also, if the garage was at 20 ft., he would lose a good portion of his garden which was very important to them. They have a 20 ft. by 20 ft. garden. He stated that a member of the Appeals Commission had mentioned a concern about line of sight earlier in the meeting. By keeping his garage in line with his house at 172- ft., he definitely did not see a problem. He stated he has two big blue spruces in tfte front yard that were more of a problem for visibility than the garage. Mr. Anderson stated that, as Mr. Clark had mentioned, the house at 999 Pandora, stuck out 10 ft. farther than his does. The house is 23 ft. from the curb. If he had a 10 ft. boulevard, which was quite normal in the City, rather than 15 ft., there would be no problem. He would be over the 20 ft. for parking. He stated his hardship was losing an additional tree and losing part of his garden. He was back from the street 32 ft. now, and he saw no visual problem for traffic. MOTION BY MR. BETZOLD, SECONDED BY MR. BARNA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:03 P.M. Mr. Barna stated he had no problem with this variance request. Mr. Betzold stated he would have difficulty approving this variance when they had approved the variance for the garage on Channel Road at 20 ft. He stated he also did not like to see trees torn down, but the fact was that the petitioner was already tearing down a few trees. He did not like to see gardens torn up, but the petitioner was already tearing up a good part of the back yard which was the petitioner's decision. He could not see granting a variance just for those reasons. He would be willing to approve the variance at 20 ft. in order to be consistent with what they had done earlier. Ms. Gabel stated her comments were similar to the first variance request. She personally had no objection to the garage being at 172- ft. However, she felt the hardship was a little vague, and she also felt they needed to be consistent with these variance requests. APPEALS'C"ISSION'MEETING;'APRIL'23;'1985 " .........

Mr. Flora stated the point was brought up that, with a setback of only 17-1/2 feet, a large car parked in the driveway would extend into the boulevard area or right-of-way. He stated the petitioner wished this setback of 17-1/2 feet in order to lime up the new garage with his existing home and also so he wouldn't have to lose another large tree. Mr. Fl or a stated the Appeals Oamiission reconmended the variance be approved to reduce the setback to 20 feet, rather than 17-1/2 feet.

Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated 68th avenue is designated as a State aid street and, if built to these standards, it would be wider than it is now. He wanted the Council aware if they were to use State aid f unds to improve 68th Avenue, the road would have to meet State aid standards. He stated the present width is 30 feet and if it was improved, it would either have to be 36 or 44 feet wide, depending if parking were allowed on one side or both sides of the street.
