Stonebraker The application w~s read in which a request was made for permission to build a single-f~ily dwelling on a 20' easement at the rear of the lot at 81~J Fifth Avenue. Director of Plann~ng Warren submitted a plot plan noting the location, adjacent land use, and 2oning. He explained that this dwellinq would be served by a 20~ wide easement which would par,~llel the south prop- erty line. The lot measures 65: x 110' which would be created by split-~ ting the existing 65' x 245' square foot parcel. Director ~arren then ~iscussed the adjacent rear lots, noting that they have the same 245' depth and the only way to serve any of these rear lo~s areas is by a side access - a full street is not feasible~ Warren suggested ~ possible way to develop the rear portions of these Sots. ~I=_ then reviewe~ the conditions the staff would recommend for approval o This being the time and place as advertised~ the public hearing was opened. Mr. C. E. Fuson, stated he owns the large lot fronting on K Street~, and it has always been his intention, as well as some of the property owners in the area, to combine the rear portion of the lots and sell it to someone who would develop it as one unit. Me~er Adams asked him if he would be wiilin~ to furnish access to this area from his lot. ~. Fuson stated he would - he has 80' of width and he could provide a ~0' access. The existing house on the lot is now ~cented, but his piaLs are to have this house removed in two or ~ree years ~ time ~ Mr~ Stonebr~ker co~,~mented that he had an opportunity to sell his prop- erty to the developer of ~he area to the south; however~ this developer did not %~,ant to meet hie price. Chairman Stewart ~ug~ested the owners of the four parcels in question get together and hav~ a meeting of the minds an~ get someone to develop this area° Mr~ Stonebr~ker felt this would just prolong the matte~ but he would be willing to go along with it if it doesn't just "sit for five or ten years. Chairman Stewart assured, him that it that this should be carrie~ over to the next meeting. Director Warren s~-ated ~e would arrange a meeting with the property owners in the arena as soon as possible an~ report back to the ComI.~is~ion at t~e next meeting. MSUC (Guye~-Rice) Continue this hearing to the meeting of SeFte~£Qer 6, 1967, in order that the staff may set up a meeting of the adjoining property owners with a ~oal towards achieving a common development of the ~ear portions of t2~ properties in this -18- PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE - 383 Vista Way - Reduction in rear setback 20' to 7' - f~-~rd Anderson, Jr. The application was read in which a request was made for a reduction in rear setback from 20' to 7' for the purpose of constructing an ad- dition to the dwelling. Director of Planning Warren submitted a plot plan noting the location and the area for the proposed construction. Mr. Warren stated that this lot was part of a 6 lot subdivision for which a variance was granted in 1958 to reduce the lot sizes from 7,000 square feet to 6,662 square feet. If the applicants construct the addition as proposed, they will exceed the maximum 40% coverage as allowed by ordinance. Therefore, the staff recommends that the setback be reduced to 8%' instead of the 7' r~que£ted, which would peIl~it a 20' x 28%' addition, thus confounding to the ordin~ce, This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing w~s opened. The applicant~ ~o Edward Anderson, Jr., stated he was present to answer any qu~stionSo There being no further comment, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed° Member R~ce commented that he can sympathize with the applicant in wanting ~}~ore house room and being on a small lot to begin with~however~ he felt ~e lot housed as much structure as should be permitted, and building close to the property line might jeopardize access for emer- gency vehicles. Chairman Stewart asked if ~he land to the east could feasibly be re- develope~ so that an encroachment of this property would~rove e~b~r- rassing in the future° Director Warren answered that it was large enough to be developed in one form, but that it might not be by a typical subdivision pattern° He added that it probably could be assumed that any old house on a large parcel could be ~ed~velopedo In this case, it doesn't seem to be in such a state that it would come soon. The staff~ however, is recommend- ing approval~ noting that there is considerable open space adjacen~ - tkat th~? are still maintaining 60% of open space on their property~ an~ because the lot is shallow and undersized~ it is impossible to make any othe~ single-.story addition to the property. Member Ad~s d~clared that he could see no exceDtiona! circumstances here - it is a small lot and so it is not big enough for ~ ~ ~cu3<~. M~er Gregson remarked that as long as the applicant s~ayed %~ithin his 40% ~overage~ the Commission should have-no alternative b%~t to ap- prove th~ variance. -29- Me~'~er Guyer stated he had mixed emotions concerning this matter - he could see the un~%s~.~al circumstances in that it is a small lot; however~ be dislikes se%~ing a !ct this size get so crow~e~. Chairman ~/~tewart discussect the events leading to the development of these lots, inclicating that since they are confo~ing to the 40% lot coverage and obs~erving the side yard setbacks, it would not cause ~y ~!ndue hardship to the area to the east and therefore, he would be in- clined to favor ?~.is request. Cit]~ Atterney Lin~erg co~ented that from all previous remarks, it seems as though this will be a split vote, and since a variance re- q~.~ires the majority of the membership (4 votes) to pass, he suggested a continuance of the matter until there is a full Co~unission~ ~feaf~er Adams stated he was against this - that the Co~ission should t~ action, and if the action does not suit the applicant, he has the right of appeal. Chelonian Stewart declared he would be in favor of a continuance~ asked the applicant for his opinion~ k~Js. Ec]ward Anderson asked whether ~e objections were directed towards the variance its~!f or to the size of the addition~ Chai~an Stewart e~plained it was toward the variance itself - they could see no unusual cJ.~?cumstances pertaining to the lot that would~ justify granting the re- ,g.u~st. This was the co~ent made by two of the Co~issioners who felt they could not favor the variance. ~Ofs~ ;u~{~erson stated tibet they bought this house not knowing the lot was unc!ersized~ and no~ she feels they are being punished for something they hact no~ing to do with~ ChaJ.~%~ Stewart e~q)la~ne{1 to Mrs~ ~derson the reasoning behind the negative reaction of t%~o of the Co~issioners - that even though the iot was smal!~ the hou~e that was built upon it was considered to be quite large.
