BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS DECISION: Deny (6-0) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny SUPPORT: 1 letter OPPOSITION: None Dear Sir: On August 28, 1984, the Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing on the application of Melvin Peterson to vary the minimum side yard required for outdoor decks from 4 feet to 2 feet. Staff recommended that the application for variance be denied. The applicant testified that the deck was erected to replace a stairway before he knew that a building permit was required. Ne also explained the hardship that would be felt without variance and why the unique relationship of his house to the neighbor's house minimizes the impact of the variance. The hearing was closed and the case was discussed by members of the Board. One member indicated that he would be inclined to approve the variance if the applicant was able to obtain a maintenance easement from the neighbor but otherwise feels compelled to deny the variance. A motion to deny the application for variance passed on a 6 to 0 vote. . . ��'c�� 'r%Y� � : _ _ _ _ ..��, ; APPLICAI'iOt�J FuR A�°EAL V`-' .` '_ "`� � 'G`��lG OrFICE USE ONLY CITY OF SAItJT P:'I�L , � �� ' ;; . _ � . � File � -�—�� ?,>��> {�'� :J` � .��,,:i� � t',ppl ication Fee $ n��=---'�-_ ��- .:;;�� 'Z �.< ,� ��t�Ms.r _ :::t �. . _... _, , Tar;.a�i�Y� Nearing Date �—_.

AP,EA & FRONTAGE: 40' frontage along Maryland Avenue by 120' along tne interior lot line for 4,800 plus 400 square feet (1/2 of the aliey) for a total of 5,200 square feet of land area. C. SITE & AREA CONDITIONS: The site is occupied by a single-family house and detached two-car garage. The surrounding land is primarily occupied by single- family houses and accessory structures except for a commercial node located l block east at the intersection of Maryland and Earl . D. ZONING CODE CITA7IOPd: Section 61.101, Schedule of Regulations, requires all construction be setback to provide a minimum 4' side yard. E. FIPJDINGS: 1. There is no physic�l basis upon which to grant a variance. The subject property is not unusual in size, shap2, or topography. 2. Strict application of code regulations would not result in exceptinal undue : difficulty by reason of the existing condition of the property. T�e applicant may m�dify the deck width without obstructing entrance to the house. 3. The applicant constructed the deck without securing a building permit. Any hardship re5ulting f rom said construction is self-created. 4. It appears that allowing reduction of side yard could result in overcrowding and im�air tne spirit and intent of the code unless the applicant secures and records an easement that aliows the applicant to encroach upon the westerly neighbors property to complete construction and for ongoing maintenance. �.

Mr. Haider states also tnat I ma,y, in his opinion, cut off two feet of tne deck without obstructing entranee to the house. The deek as it now stands is five fe�t wide at the side of �he house. It replaces a set of steps four feet wide tha.t I consid�red �oo �rrow for easy access to the sids door. I simply believe that a deck only three feet wide would present som�thing of a hardship in terms of de- enr_z access to wha� is for r�e ths primary aecess to my house. I confess to beir�; somewhat baf£led by both the reco�nendations of Mr. Haider and the decision�of the Board. I've been denied what is ordinaxily a very routine application for a two foat varia.nce in spite of the fact that there is no neigh- borhoo3 opposition tc the propaaecl deck. Qne neighbor is on recor3 as having wrztten to -�he Boaxd in supgort of ray appeal. Yvonne Miller, the owner of the property a,d- jacent to -che deck, has assured ne persona,Ily �hat she has no opposition to the deck as it now stands or to a.ny request for the necessary variance. Idot one of my nezghbors within 100 feet showed up to object when my case was discussed by the Boa��'. �JY=y, th2�, all the opposition from thz Eoax3 of Zoning ApPeals? _ _ ror reasons unlrnown to me, I feal tYzat I've been wronged by the decision of the Board and hope tha,t the evidence and iogic presented here will be enough to rectify the situation. I was certainly wrong in ignorantly constructing the deck without securing a building permit, and I am well aware tha,t ignorance of the law is no excuse. What I ask now is that I be allowed to legally protect a deck that is, in the final ana.l��is, causing no one any txouble. Nor, do T b�lieva, dops it viola-te either the spirit or code of this city. � Melvin L.

Grais The meeting was chaired by Gladys Morton, Chairman. MELVIN L. PETERSON (#9624) : Request for variance to allow a newly constructed deck to remain 2 feet from the interior lot line; code requires the deck to be setback 4 feet from the side lot line. Applicant was present at the hearing. No opposition was present. Mr. Haider gave the slide presentation and reviewed the staff findings with a recommendation f or denial . The Board receive� one letter in support of the variance request. Mr. Osborn questioned the width of the deck on the diagram and also where �_. the sidewalk was located. Mr. Haider answered that the deck is 5 feet wide, and that the sidewalk is located along the side of the house. He further stated that applicant should have placed the west neighbors house on the diagram; the house abuts on Cypress and Maryland, and does not have the same setback as the applicants. Melvin L. Peterson, applicant, stated that his neighbor's house to the west lies on the corner of Maryland and Cypress and that there is 2� feet between the two homes. He stated that he built the deck before he knew that a building permit was required. He disagreed with the finding that the construction would be a hardship ta the neighbor. Mr. Peterson further stated if his request was denied he would have to cut off 2 fee� of the deck; re?ocate the footings, and he would like not to have to reconstruct the deck. Mr. Peterson stated his neighbor at 1001 E. iNaryland had no objection to his building a deck but would not grant an easement as . suggested by zoning staff because the neignbor was in the process of selling the property. Nearing no further testimony, Ms. Morton closed the public hearing portion of the meeting. Mr. Osborn stated he was sympathetic with the applicant and he would be inclined ta approve the request for variance if he were able to obtai;� the ' eas?ment, which th� applicant is not able to obtain and therefore it is not � possible for him to vote to approve the variance. ��_
