Council Report 05-147
VARIANCE - SIDE YARD SETBACK
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 05-107, approving a
side yard setback at 121 Ashley Road.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting, Ms. Halverson moved and Ms. Hatcher seconded
to adopt Resolution RZ05-34, recommending approval of a side yard setback at 121
Ashley Road. The motion was approved unanimously.
Overview.
The applicant, Kurt Krumenauer, is proposing to remove the roof over the garage and
construct a new roof with dormers on the home at 121 Ashley Road. The new roof will
not be higher than the existing roof and the garage will remain. The purpose of the new
roof and dormers is to provide living space over the garage.
The property is zoned R -l-C and requires a 12- foot side yard setback for a two-story
home. The existing home has a 10'7" side yard setback. The applicant needs a variance
because any expansion is considered an expansion of a non-conforming building.
Primary Issues to Consider.
. What does the ordinance require?
. What are the specifics of the applicant's request?
. What special circumstances or hardship does the property have?
. What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning Commission?

Primary Issues to Consider.
. What does the ordinance require?
The side yard setback in the R -l-C zoning district for a two-story home is 12 feet.
. What are the specifics ofthe applicant's request?
The garage's existing setback is 10 feet 7 inches. The applicant is requesting a variance
of one foot, fiye inches.
. What special circumstances or hardship does the property have?
The Zoning Ordinance states the following: a variance is a modification or variation
from the provisions of this code granted by the board and applied to a specific parcel of
property because of undue hardship due to circumstances peculiar and unique to such
parcel. The Zoning Ordinance also states the following: that the Commission must find
that the literal enforcement of the provision of the Zoning Ordinance would cause an
undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under
consideration and that the granting of a variance to the extent necessary to compensate
for said hardship is in keeping with the intent of this code.
In this case, the applicant has a hardship that is unique to the property. The new roof
will be the same height as the existing roof. The only change will be the addition of
dormers. The existing setback will not change.
. What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the proposed variance. Ms. Anderson stated that the garage will
remain with the same setback. Scott Mayer representing the applicant appeared before
the Commission. Mr. Mayer stated that the area over the garage will be used for a
master suite. No one appeared at the meeting regarding this issue.
Alternatives.
1. Approve of the variance. By approving the variance, the applicant will be able to
construct the dormers as proposed.
2. Deny the variance. By denying the variance, the applicant will not be able to
construct the dormers as proposed. If the City Council considers this alternative,
findings offact will have to be stated that support this recommendation.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further
information is needed, the item should be continued.
