HEARING OPEN AT 7:37 P.M.
Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative Staff Report:
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
6211 Riverview Terrace N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section 205.07.3D.3a requires a rear yard setback of not less than
25 percent.of the lot depth, with not less than 25 feet permitted or
more than 40 feet required for the main building.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space
to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Grandmother is 85 years old and cannot use stairs. She wall be
moving in January 1, 1986."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Petitioner wants to add a room onto the rest of the existing home.
The desired addition would reduce the rear yard from the required
32 feet to 14.7 feet.
If the Board approves this request, staff has no stipulations to suggest.
Mr. Clark stated the Commissioners had an aerial photo which showed the house
and the adjoining structures. The neighbor immediately behind the petitioner
had come into the office inquiring about the proposal. He was planning to
build a detached garage in the near future, and his only concern was whether
Mr. Burandt°s addition would have any affect on his building a garage.
Mr. Clark stated he had assured the neighbor it would not.
Mr. Burandt stated they have an existing three -season porch on that end of
the house right now with a flat roof. He planned to tear off the porch and
expand and put a gable into the roof. The addition would be a 14 ft. by 14 ft.
family room. Because his grandmother who will be living with them cannot climb
up and downstairs, this will give her a family room area on the first floor.

Mr. Betzold stated he was not sure the hardship as stated was very clearly
defined. What the petitioner was proposing would take up,most of the
existing back yard; however, on this.particular block, there are about ten
homes that share what is one large common back yard. He did not recall
seeing any other property like this in the city. When he looked at the
property, he felt it would not be offensive to add on to the back of the
house because the petitioner was clearly not enfringing upon anyone else's
area. The closest house was pretty far away. From that circumstance, the
proposal was well within the code's intent. Because of the uniqueness of the
lot, he would be in favor of the variance as requested.
Mr. Barna stated that if the one neighbor most affected had no objection, and
as Mr. Betzold had point out, this was a unique situation, he would have no
objection to the variance.
Mr. Plemel and Ms. Gabel stated the did not object to the variance request.
