Board of Appeals minutes of April 30, 1969 e a
Mr. & Mrs. Courtney Schuur were present to present their request.
Pictures, of the existing garage and house, tkat were takea-•by--ths,1Build
Inspector, were shown to the Board.
Mr. Sohuur explained to the Board that hecwants to build on top of the
existing garage, a room the same size as the garage. The addition would have
a value of about $2,500, which is less than 25% of the value of the existing
structure.
Chairman Mittelstadt: Mr. Schuur is in compliance with the U.B.C. Code, and
does not need a variance. If the garage in cracked and unsound to build on
then this would be a different matter. Is thdre any question in the Building
Department that this garage might be unsound to build on?
Mr. Kuhioh: Yes there is.
Chairman Mittelstadt: We are talking about the outside perimeter of the
structure which is already 51 feet from the lot line so in my opinion they
do not need a variance.
Mr. Minish and Mr. O'Bannon agree that this is nonconforming to our present
code and does need a variance.
MOTION by O'Bannon to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the; motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by Minish to grant the variance. I don't think that our decision on
this variance is whether the foundation is buildable or not. The garage is
already there and they are just building on top of the garage. The reasons
for granting the variance are as follows;
1. It would be a hardship if they were not allowed to build on this garage.
2. This would be an improvement to the property.
3. The compensation paid by the City would not have had to be paid if oorreot
building methods were used in installing the sewer line.
Seconded by O'Bannon. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
Before the permit is issued the Building Inspector should inspect the garage
ad to the soundness of the garage.

Mr. Davis was present to present his request.
A picture taken by the Building Inspector, of the structure, was shown to the
Board.
MOTION by Ahonen to receive letters from Mr. Davis' two edjacentosneighbors,
Mr. Leslie Miller and Mr. Leonard Larson. The letters stated that they did
not objeot,to Mr. Davis converting an existing summer porch into a year-rouAd
habitable sitting room.
Seconded by Harris. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Davis is converting a room which is classified non -livable into a livable
room. He is actually asking for a variance to reduce the side yard requirement
for a livable room from 10 feet to 5 feet.
MOTION by Harris to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Minish. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by Harris to grant the variance as;
1. There is no opposition from ajoining neighbors, in fact they approved.
2. Mr. Davis is just upgrading an existing structure on his property.
Seconded by O'Bannon. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Bob Barts, was present to present the request.
MOTION by O'Bannon to receive a letter from Mr. Don Jacobson, 1371 -53rd Avenue,
the neighbor to the West of Mr. Barta's property, stating that he does not
object to the garage being built.
Seconded by Minish. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
unanimously.
Board of A peals minutes of April 30, 1969 Lade 4
Mr. Barta stated that he wanted to go forward so he could get in a 24 foot
garage without having to cover up the side kitchen window and also the elevation
drop is so extreme that it would make building a garage prohibitively expensive.
MOTION by O'Bannon to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Harris. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion passed.
MOTION by O'Bannon to grant the variances as;
1. It's a hardship as without a double garage the resale value is low.
2. There is no objections from the adjacent neighbor on Lot 15, Block 2.
3. If the variance was not granted he would have to take out the kitchen
window and lose the view.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carred
unanimously.
