ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF 'REPORT
A• PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.063, 1, requiring a minimum lot area of
10,000 square feet in an R-2 {two family dwelling areas}
zone -
public purpose served to avoid the condition of over-
crowding of the residential neighborhood.
Section 205.063, 4, C, requiring a minimum rear yard of
25% of the lot depth with a minimum of 25 feet in an R-2
{two family dwelling areas} zone•
public purpose served is to provide desired rear yard
space to be used for green areas which add to the attractability
of the neighborhood.
Appeals Commission Meeting — April 261 1977 Page 3
B- STATED HARDSHIP:
Lots, if rezoned to R-2, cannot be developed without
requested variances.
C- ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The configuration of the lot is such that in order to
maintain the existing front yard setback of 35 feet, the
structure must be shifted to the rear• This shift reduces
the rear yard to less than 25% of the lot depth required
by.the City Code- Approval of this request would be
contingent upon rezoning of the property.
Chairwoman Schnabel gave some background on the items.
She explained that at the planning Commission meeting of three
weeks ago, the petition came through to rezone these properties
from C-1 to R-2- She explained that of the lots in question,
two lots are located on Osborne Road and two lots are located
on Meadowmoor Drive• The petitioner had requested the zone
change to R-2 because he wanted to build double bungalows or
duplexes on each one of the four lots•
Chairwoman Schnabel continued to explain that at the time this
came before th Planning Commission, the petitioner did not show -
However, she stated that a great number of the residents
{primarily ones who lived on Meadowmoor} did show at the meeting -
They presented a petition to the Planning Commission asking
that instead of rezoning the lots to R-2, that they rezone them
to R-1- Chairwoman Schnabel explained that they felt they were
already overcrowded in the area in terms of the child population•
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that since the petitioner wasn't
at the meeting and after much discussion, it had been decided
that the item would be tabled until the petitioner could attend
a meeting to explain his viewpoints- This was decided especially
because of the great opposition from the residents• She said
that the item was then tabled until May 4, 1977•
MOTION by Barna, seconded by Plemel, to set aside these items
until later in the meeting, in the event that the petitioner or
someone representing this request would show• Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously•
The petitioner never made an appear-ance at the Appeals
Commission meeting of April 26, 1977.
Mrs. Gabel made the comment that since no one
was in the audience for the first four Items and the petitioner
did not show up, and that it was obviously a situation that had
many questions that needed to be answered, she felt the items
should be tabled•
Appeals Commission Meeting - April 26, 1977 Page 4
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Plemel, that the Appeals `
Commission tables items 1 thru 4, until such time that the
petitioner indicates another request• Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, the motion carried•

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
A• PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.053, 4, B41 requiring a side yard setback
of 5 feet from an attached garage•
Public purpose served is to provide space between
individual structures to°reduce conflagration of fire,
to provide access to the rear yard for emergencies
and to limit the condition of crowding in the
residential neighborhood•
B• STATED HARDSHIP:
I want to store an additional car, snow blower,
lawn mower, etc• in the garage• The present garage
is not big enough as the door is in the center•
C• ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT:
The survey shows that the proposed 14 foot addition
would be 2.3 feet from the common property line to
the south• The house doesn't lend itself to adding
a garage on the North side• The existing garage
does have living space above it• The existing South
garage wall will remain intact except for a doorway
opening• No additional living space would be added
to the new garage site• The neighboring garage is
10.9 feet from the common lot line• If constructed,
the distance between the garages would be 13.2 feet
at the closest point•

went before the City Council.

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 101 1977 Page 3
Mr. Peterson indicated that he wished to withdraw his

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT=
Section 205.063, 1, requiring a minimum lot area of
10,000 square feet in an R-2 {two family dwelling areas}
zone.
Public purpose served to avoid the condition of over
crowding of the residential neighborhood.
Section 205.063, 4, C, requiring a minimum rear yard
of 25% of the lot depth with a minimum of 25 feet in
an R-2 {two family dwelling areas} zone. o
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:
Lots, if rezoned to R-2, cannot be developed without
requested variances.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW=
The configuration of the lot is such that in order to
maintain the existing front yard setback of 35 feet,
the structure must be shifted to the rear. This shift
reduces the rear yard to less than 25% of the lot depth
required by City Code. Approval of this request would
be contingent upon rezoning of the property.
Mrs. Gabel wanted to know if both the Planning Commission
and the neighbors wanted R -1's on Meadowmoor Drive.
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that there had been mixed
feelings regarding the -lots on Meadowmoor; some of the
neighbors wanted the lots to remain as C-1 and others would
rather see R-11s'built.
Mr. Peterson indicated that if the City Council denied
his request for rezoning to R-2 on Osborne Road, he would
probably withdraw his request for R-1 rezoning on Meadowmoor
Drive.
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 101 1977 Page 4

would happen to the lots if City Council denied Mr• Peterson's
requests to rezone to R-2 on Osborne Road and Mr. Peterson
withdrew his requests to rezone to R-1 on Meadowmoor Drive•
Chairwoman Schnabel told him that the lots would then
remain as C-1 lots.
Mr. Maxey wanted to know if the people on Osborne Road
would be notified of that meeting. He indicated that many
of the people on Osborne Road assumed the lots were to be
kept as C-1.

Planner, had indicated at the Planning Commission meeting
that, in this particular case, the people within 200 feet

Council meeting.
Chairwoman Schnabel also indicated that the people on
Osborne Road had no right to assume anything until a final
decision had been reached by the City Council or if
Mr• Peterson would withdraw his entire request. She said
that if the people on Osborne Road were opposed to the
building of R -2's on those lots, they should be at the City
Council meeting.
Chairwoman Schnabel told the audience that if they did
not receive a notice of the May -16, 1977, City Council meeting,
that they should call City Hall to confirm that the items
would be appearing before the City Council on that date•

should consult the Zoning Map located at City Hall whenever
he had a question regarding the zoning on any lot.

for the rezoning and the variances, would he be building the
houses at the same time.
Mr. Peterson indicated that he would build on all four
lots at the same time.

individual structures to reduce conflagration of

for another car.

approximately 4 feet from the common property line.
The neighbors detached garage is located 3 feet to the
rear of the proposed addition's rear wall. The

were detached, he could build to within 3 feet of the
common line*.
Mr. Jensen, Mr- Holden, and the Appeals Commission discussed
the plans that Mr- Jensen had with him- Mr. Jensen also
indicated that he mainly wanted the addition for more storage
space and workshop space.
Mr. Barna wanted to know if Mr. Jensen did any kind of
engine repair or body work in his garage.
Mr. Jensen said that he did not- He only wanted the
addition because he needed more space for a work bench and
to store items-
