VIRGINIA SCHNABEL CHAIRWOMAN APPEALS COMMISSION Note: The Appeals Commission will have the final action on this request, unless there are objections from surrounding neighbors, the City staff, or the petitioner does not agree with the Commission's decision.

Item #2 April 11, 1978 ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 5310 7th Street N.E. A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053, 4, C, A rear yard depth of not less that 25 percent of of the lot depth is required with not less than 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet required. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhood. Section 205.053, 4, B, Two side yards are required with not less than 10 foot width adjoining living area. 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 exposure to conflagration of fire. It is also to allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures. B. STATED HARDSHIP: The placement of the original structure makes this the only way to expand. We need the additional bedrooms for the family. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: On January 15, 1968, the City Council granted a variance to allow building on the -Easterly portion of these lots provided the existing house be demolished by June, 1971. The house was not destroyed and due to divorce proceedings, the building permit was revoked. The revocation included returning the lots to their original state before 1966. (The City had approved a lot split in June of 1966.) It should be understood at this time that any future approval of a similar lot split request would most likely be predicated on the demolition of this house which Mr. Schroer wants to improve. A lot split would necessitate a variance to allow for over 25% lot coverage on the West one-half. The proposed addition will be 13.5 feet from the garage to the north. The rear yard is the West side of the house. Please note that plans are not available at this writing. The petitioner had indicated that he has no intention of splitting this lot now.
