- CASE NO. 9-87 - 2085 Waterbury
The applicant requested approval of the installed window within 3 feet
of the property line. The house in question was approved and built with
a zero lot line side yard clearance. The house on the adjacent lot is
set back 7 feet from the property line. Oue to the appellant's house
being set on the side property line, the bay window extension could not
be equipped with windows within 3 feet of the property line as specified
in Table 5A, Uniform Building Code.
The normal side yard clearance in the City is 5 feet on each side of the
property line. For design purposes there are also locations where houses
are set 3 feet from the property line on one side and 7 feet on the other
side. These instances present no problems with openings in the walls. In
this case, the small houses and lots were approved with a 7-foot separation
with the stipulation that no changes or additions could be made. The buil der
could not put openings in the wall within 3 feet of the property line. Since
the house is on the property line and there is only 7 feet between houses,
the Acting Director of Building and Housing recommends against approval of
this appeal for fire safety reasons.
It was moved by Board Member Nash and seconded by Board Member Winkelman
to continue this item and give the applicant time to request an easement
from EastLake representatives and his neighbor.
Board Members Nash and Winkelman amended their motion to grant a 90-day
extension of this appeal. The motion, as amended, carried unanimously (6-0).
