B. VARIANCE REQUEST VAR #94-12
BY JOAN
KLOCKERS
TO REDUCE
THE
SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 10
FEET TO
7.4 FEET
TO ALLOW
THE
EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING THREE -SEASON
PORCH, AND TO REDUCE THE
SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 3.2
FEET TO
2.2 FEET
TO ALLOW
THE
EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING
GARAGE,
GENERALLY
LOCATED
AT
6830 WASHINGTON STREET N.E.:
Ms: Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this is a
request for two variances, one is to expand a garage=;to within
2.2 feet of the south lot line, and the other is to expand an
existing three -season porch to the south which would.reduce the
setback from 9.4 feet to 7.4 feet.
Ms. Dacy stated that because there was no neighborhood objection,
the Appeals Commission voted unanimously to approve the variance
for the side yard setback from 3.2 feet to 2.2 feet to allow
expansion of an existing garage, but the variance to expand the
three -season porch resulted in a tie vote by the Appeals
Commission.
Councilman Billings asked the petitioners if they had considered
closing in the area across the back of the home, and if only adding
a two foot expansion was worth.the cost.
Mr. Klockers, the petitioner, stated that if the three -season porch
was expanded across the back of the home, it would make for a very
misshapen porch. He stated that as far as adding only two feet,
they. felt it was worth the cost. He stated that the existing porch
is 10-1/2 feet by 11-1/2 feet, and by adding the additional two
feet it would not change the roof line.
Mr. Klockers stated that there is an ornamental block wall on the
south of the property line that separates his property from the
1994 PAGE 12
neighbor's He stated that this. wall is 5 feet 4 inches in height
on his pr perty. Due to the change in elevation, it is 5 feet
9 inches o the neighbor's side. He stated that this wall effec-
tively scr ens the properties. He stated that his neighbor to the
south has submitted a letter that he has no objection to these
variances. Mr. Klockers stated that there is about 27 feet of
space between his porch and the neighbor's living area to the
south.
Mr. Klockes stated that in 1987, they added a six foot addition
to the oth r end of their home and that this expansion.is part of
a larger lan which includes remodeling of the kitchen and two
bedrooms. .He stated that they seriously considered moving but
decided to remodel. For the Council to deny what they may consider
a small p rt of their plan that is really a great part to them
would be a hardship.
Mr. Klocke s stated that with the remodeling, they are creating a
more attra tive and valuable home in the City resulting in higher
real esta a taxes due to the improvements. $e asked that the
Council ca t a favorable vote to.approve the variances.
MOTION by'! Councilman Billings to grant. Variance Request,
VAR #94-12, with the following stipulations:. (1) that the gutters
be reinstalled on the south side of the garage; and (2) -that the
siding on the three -season porch and garage match the siding on
the -home. 'Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote,

PETITIONER:
♦ Joan Klockers
LOCATION•
♦ 6830 Washington Street N.E.
REQUEST•
♦ To reduce the side yard setback for an accessory structure
from 3.2 feet to 2.2 feet.
To reduce the side yard setback for living space from 10
feet to 7.4 feet.
To allow the expansion of a garage and a three season porch.
ANALYSIS•
♦ Located on the property is a single family dwelling and an
attached single car garage. The property is zoned R-1,
Single Family as are the surrounding parcels. A concrete
sidewalk is located along the south side of the garage. A
six inch concrete curb separates the subject parcel from the
property to the south.
Accessory Structure Setback
Section 205.04.05.B.(2).(a) of the Zoning Code allows the
expansion of a single car garage while reducing the sideyard
setback to three feet. The petitioner is proposing to
expand the existing garage from 12.9 feet to 19.9 feet (7
foot addition). This will reduce the sideyard setback to
2.2 feet. The petitioner could construct a six foot
addition without requiring a variance. The City previously
granted a similar variance in 1993 to 2.7 feet for 6810 -
7th Street. The adjacent structure has an attached single
car garage approximately 11 feet from the lot line.

The house is fully guttered, with the outlets discharging
water toward the street in the front and into the backyard.
This drainage pattern should be maintained if the garage is
expanded.
Livina Snace Setback
Section 205.07.03.D.(2).(a) requires a side yard setback of
10 feet between any living area and side property line.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a
minimum of 20 feet between living areas in adjacent
structures and 15 feet between garages and living areas in
adjacent structures to reduce the possibility of fire and to
allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around
residential structures.
Located to the rear of the garage is a three season porch.
The porch is located 9.4 feet from the side lot line. The
required sideyard setback for living space is 10 feet. The
petitioner is proposing to construct 2 foot additions to the
south and west sides of the porch. A concrete block wall
screens the porch from the adjacent property to the south.
Granting the variance would reduce the side yard setback to
7.4 feet and would not adversely impact the adjacent
property. The City has previously -granted variances to 5
feet for the side yard setback.
RECOMMENDATION/STIPULATIONS:
♦ Staff has no recommendation regarding the variance request.
If the Commission votes to approve the request, staff
recommends the following stipulation:
1. The gutters shall be reinstalled along the south side
of the garage.
APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION
The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to approve the variance
to reduce the side yard setback from 3.2 feet to 2.2 feet for the
accessory structure.
The vote to reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 7.4 feet
for living space resulted in a tie vote.

The petitioner requested two variances:
1. To reduce the side yard setback for an accessory
structure from 3.2 feet to 2.2 feet, to allow a garage
expansion.
2. To reduce the side yard setback for living space from
10 feet to 7.4 feet, to allow an expansion of a three -
season porch.
The Appeals Commission at its July 12, 1994 meeting unanimously
approved the variance request to reduce the side yard setback for
an accessory structure from 3.2 feet to 2.2 feet. This will
allow the expansion of the existing attached single -car garage
into a two -car garage.
The motion to approve the side yard setback for living space from
10 feet to 7.4 feet resulted in a tie vote. If approved, this
variance would allow the expansion of a three season porch
located to the rear of the garage. The three season porch would
be increased by two feet to the west and south.
Staff has no recommendation regarding this variance request.

MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Ms. Smith to open the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:54
P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the variance requests are for 6830
Washington Street N.E. Located on the property is a single
family dwelling with an attached single car garage. The property
is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are all the surrounding
parcels. There is a concrete sidewalk that is located along the
south side of the garage. The neighbor to the south also has a
concrete driveway and parking area. These two concrete areas are
separated by a six-inch concrete curb. The property to the south
is lower than the subject parcel.
Ms. McPherson stated the first request is to allow the expansion
of the accessory structure by 7 feet which would create a garage
of 19.9 feet. The petitioner can expand the garage by 6 feet
without a variance; however, the petitioner chose to request the
variance down to 2.2 feet. The City in 1993 approved a similar
variance request down to 2.7 feet for 6810 7th Street which is a
few blocks from the subject parcel. The property to the south
has a single car garage approximately 11 feet from the lot line.
The garage and house are fully guttered with the outlets
3EE
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 12, 1994 PAGE 13
discharging water towards the street and into the rear yard. If
the garage is expanded, this drainage pattern should be
maintained.
Ms. McPherson stated the second request is to allow the expansion
of an existing attached three -season porch which is to the rear
of the garage by 2 feet to the south and to the west. The three -
season porch is already located 9.4 feet from the side lot line,
.6 foot under the 10 foot requirement. There is a concrete block
screening wall along the southerly property line which would
screen the porch addition from the property to the south. The
variance, if granted, would not adversely impact the adjacent
property to the south. The City has previously granted side yard
setback variances down to 5 feet for similar additions.
Ms. McPherson stated staff has no recommendation regarding either
part of the variance request. If the Commission chooses to
recommend approval of the request, staff recommends the following
stipulation:
1. The gutters shall be reinstalled along the south side of
the garage.
Ms. Beaulieu asked if the porch as it is now in non-compliance.
Ms. McPherson stated yes.
Mr. Klockers presented some pictures of the property and also
presented a letter from his neighbor to the south who has no
objection to their plans. He stated the existing three -season
existed before they purchased the property.
MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Dr. Vos, to receive into the
record the letter from Mr. Fred Lautizi, 6820 Washington Street
N.E. dated July 12, 1994.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Dr. Vos asked what impact would granting this variance have on
the neighbor to the south. If this petitioner receives a 2.2
foot variance, there is still a need for space between the
structures.
Ms. Dacy stated the homeowner to the south could extend their
accessory building to 5 feet without a variance.
Dr. Vos stated that the neighbor could add 6 feet to his garage,
and the petitioner could add 7 feet. That leaves 7.2 feet
between structures. Is that enough space in case of fire? What
about a fire wall?
3FF
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 12, 1994 PAGE 14
Ms. Dacy stated, if variance is approved, she thought the
petitioner would need a one-hour fire wall.
Ms. McPherson stated, under the same section of the code, all
exterior walls of attached garages less than 5 feet from the
property line must have a one-hour fire wall.
Mr. Kuechle asked the petitioner why they were extending the
porch. This is not a hardship.
Mr. Klockers stated space is tight. As long as they are changing
the garage, they can expand the porch by extending the roof line.
They are looking for additional space.
Mr. Kuechle asked if it was the petitioner's intent to carry out
the current roof line.
Mr. Klockers stated yes. The roof line for the garage would be
carried out as it currently exists.
Dr. Vos stated asked if the petitioner could go to the back 2
feet to the west without a variance request.
Ms. McPherson stated this was correct. The variance request is
required,only for'the proposed expansion to the south.
Mr. Klockers stated the concrete block wall keeps the area from
being visible to the south.
Dr. Vos asked if, when within 2.2 feet, there is anything about
the overhang.
Mr. Klockers stated they arrived at this according to their
neighbors. They need space for two cars and still have enough
space for a walkway outside.to get to the back.
Ms. Dacy stated the maximum roof space is 2 feet so the edge of
the overhand will be within 2 inches of the lot line.
Mr. Klockers stated they have no problem with the stipulation.
Their intent is to reinstall the gutters.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to close the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE -CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:07
P.M.
Dr. Vos stated she was inclined to agree with the request and
reduce the side yard setback to 2.2 feet. The request for the
3GG
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 12, 1994 PAGE 15
garage is a reasonable request. He has some doubts about the
hardship for the living space from 10 feet to 7.4 feet except
that the existing condition is non -conforming. He would tend to
vote yes for the side yard setback for the garage as long as the
neighbor to the south does not object and the neighbor to the
south has some options. But he has concerns about the living
space.
Ms. Smith stated she would be inclined to vote yes to both
requests. She does not see the living space as an undue request.
While there is not a hardship, she would still vote for approval
on both.
Ms. Beaulieu stated variances have been approved to enlarge a
single car garage to a double garage, but she agrees with Dr. Vos
and his hesitancy on approving the request for the living space.
She would vote to approve a variance of the existing condition so
that it is no longer non -conforming, but she would hesitate to
see a hardship because we have not been inclined to have a living
space any closer to the neighbors.
Mr. Kuechle stated he would be inclined to approve both requests.
If you look at the roof line, it is already there. It becomes a
