Item #2 July 19, 1977
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
4607 2nd Street N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIRMENT:
Section 205.053,4, A, requiring a front yard setback of 35 feet.
Public purpose served is to allow for off-street parking without
encroaching on the public right of way. Also for aesethetic con-
sideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment
into the neighbor's front yard.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
New entry way will help eliminate cold air from entering the living room.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVEIW:
The verifying survey indicates that a 3' x 5' addition of an entry way
would reduce the front yard setback to just over 30 feet. The house at
4623 2nd Street'-N.E.-seems 'to be setback approximately 31 feet.
The Southwest corner of the house is 32.58 feet from the property line
and the requested variance would reduce that setback by 2.4 feet.
Please note that Staff would like to remind the petitioner that his
garage permit expires in November of 1977 and a hard surfaced driveway
must be installed before in can be finalled out. Also, temporary
wiring must be converted to permanent wiring immediately.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
A. "PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
B.
C.
Section 205.053, 4, {b1} requiring a 10 foot side'yard
setback for living area in an R-1 zone.
Public purpose served by this section of the Code 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 exposure
to conflagration of fire. Also to allow for aesthetically
please open areas around residential structures -
STATED HARDSHIP:
Because of the increase in the size of our family and
out-of-town family that are frequent guests, the present
kitchen is very inadequate-
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
An on-site inspection shows approximately'5.4 feet of
room between the proposed addition and the lot line.Th,e
petitioner has been informed that a verifying survey of
the existing house will be required before a building
permit can be issued. If a verifying survey should
show less than 5 feet of available room_, an additional
variance would be required.'
The house to the East is 13 feet from the apparent lot
line. The east wall of the proposed addition is to the,.
rear of the neighboring house wall.
Mr• Dietz showed the Commission his plans to add onto his
present house. He said that the new addition would add to
his present kitchen which was not large enough to accommodate
his family and their frequent guests. He also said that. one
of the bedrooms would be expanded and made into a Master Bedroom.
Mr. Holden pointed out that the City did not have a
verifying survey and should it be discovered that the distance
was less than five feet; an additional variance would be
required and they would have to appear before the Appeals
Commission again. He did mention that the Appeals Commission
could motion to waive the second fee.
Mr. Barna felt that he would be inclined to motion for
such a waiver of fee.
