ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
451 54th Avenue N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
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 aesthetic con-
sideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment
into the neighbor's front yard.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
Hardship would be a 20 ft. wide house instead of a 24'ft. wide house.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The lot in question is zoned R-2 (single and two family dwellings).
The only size house that one could be able to build without a
variance would be 20 ft. deep. There are no adjacent houses facing
54th Avenue on this side of the street. There is approximately
seven feet..of boulevard in this area.

not the information he needed when he contacted the City. He said this
problem had made the City Staff consider a new policy for pool permit.
Before any pool permit would be issued when the use of any existing
fences or other structures was proposed, an on-site inspection would be
required. The existing structures would be checked for compliance and
any questions answered for the homeowner. He said the pool companies
wouldn't be very happy with this delay, but they didn't want to have
a reoccurrence of what happened to Mr. Rignell.
Mr. Barna said he wanted the Council to know that he did not feel
that a chain link fence met the requirements for a non -climbable fence.
Other members of the Commission agreed with him.
MOTION by Barna, seconded by Kemper, that the Appeals Commission
close the Public Hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the Public
Hearing was closed at 8:50 P.M.
Mrs. Gabel said she felt this was an extremely unfortunate incident,
but this was something that could happen when there was a new ordinance.
She said she was sure that this would not make Mr. Rignell any happier
because it was at his expense. She still felt that she could not go
along with this request, because after seeing the fence there would be
no deterrent to stop a small child from climbing this fence.
Mr. Kemper said it was a climbable fence and we have neighbors who
are opposed -*to the variance, so he was not in favor of it being granted.
Mr. Plemel said that it was unfortunate that the petitioner was
.going to have to come up with money out of his pocket to modify the
fence, but if the City had made the inspection even a year ago, this
fence would still have had to be modified before he could get a pool
.permit.
Mr. Barna said we could discuss responsibility, liability, and
toddlers and children, but he would hate to have a child have an
accident in the pool, whether the owner was liable or not. He said
he felt this was a moral and emotional issue rather than legal liability.
MOTION by Kemper, seconded by Plemel, that the Appeals Commission
recommend to Council, through the Planning Commission, denial of the
request for a variance to allow a climbable fence to be used as a pool
enclosure. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
