May 4, 1971
Mr. Harry E. Marshall
City Clerk
Room 386 City Hall
Dear Sir:
This is written in response to the appeal of Sharon Boecker for permission
to add to a legal non-conforming building, property located on the southwest
corner of South Cleveland and Palace Avenues. This property is further
described as:
Lot l, Block 2, G. G.
Whitney's Riverton Place.
This matter was heard at the April 15, 1971, Board of Zoning meeting, at
which time the staff reported that the Building Department determined that an
appeal is required for the appellant's proposed remodeling. The staff report
included a description of the frontage and area of the lot, and of the existing
structure and its proposed addition. The staff said that the building was
built in 1921 and an extension of use was granted in 1938. The staff noted
that the Zoning Code section which allows this appeal apparently limits such
extension to 50% of the value of the building. The submitted plan approaches
the point where one must ask if this represents 50% of the value, the staff
said. The staff suggested that if the Board recommends approval, it should
be on the condition that it falls within the limits of the Zoning Code. The
staff also acknowledged receipt of one letter in opposition.
The appellant explained that she wants to add to the building in order to
live there.
In discussing this matter, the Board considered the dimensions of the lot
and of the proposed addition, and of the building's location on the lot. It
was questioned whether the Board could act on this appeal because of the value
limitation posed by the Code, but it was also stated that the Council should
make the final determination on that issue.
Subsequently, the Board heard a motion to recommend approval. The motion
was seconded and passed by a vote of 5-0.

8. STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REPORT: Date: 4/9/71 gy; ATB
A. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: The Building Department informed the applicant that an appeal
is required for the applicant's proposal.
B. HISTORY: An extension of non-conforming use was granted in 1938 for this site to
allow remodeling of and extension of the then existing structure not to exceed 10
feet south of its then existing south line and to allow the extension of the then
existing commercial use into that addition.
C. SITE CONDITIONS: The site consists of one platted lot with a frontage of 40 feet
on Palace Avenue and 126.5 feet along Cleveland Avenue with an area of 5,060 square
feet. A small commercial type building fronts on Cleveland Avenue and adjoins the
alley. The front of the building is occupied by a beauty shop with residential
rooms to the rear. Yard area extends north from the str«cture to Palace Avenue.

to the building, adding two bedrooms to the residential area of the structure. The
appellant 's letter states that plans for the addition have not been drawn.
E. NEED FOR APPEAL: Non-conforming buildings or uses are regulated by Section 60.09,

structural alterations may be made except as provided in this Chapter. Section
60.17_ appears to allow an exception within certain limits . Such exception must be
appealed according to the provisions of Section 64.03 (b) .
F. AREA 7_ONING: The frontage along the west side of Cleveland Avenue to the south is
zoned "B" Residence. The 4 corners of Randolph and Cleveland Avenues are zoned

of the staff.
SAARUN BOECKER: An appeal for permiasion to add to a legal non-conforn►ing
buildiag on property Located on the southwest corner of South Cleveland
and Palace Avenuese
Mro Roaetter sus�arized the ataff report, a part o€ the file, stating that
the Building Department informed the appellant that an appeal is required
for this proposalo The aite consists of one platted lot with a frontage of
40 feet on Palace Avenue and 126.5 feet along South Cleveland Avenue, with
an ares of 5,Q60 square feet. A smsll com�ercial-type building fronts on
South Cleveland Avenue and adjoins the alley. The front of the building is
occupied by a besuty shop with residential rooms to the rear. The building
was built in 19?_1. The yard area extenda north from the structure to Palace
Avenue. An extension of non-conforming use was granted in 1935 for this
site to allow remodelin� of and �xtensian of the then-existing atructur� not
to exceed LO feet south of ita then-existing south line and to ellow the
exteasion of the then-existing commercial use into that additione He
presented pictures of the aite to the BoBrd.
Mr. Ames said that the appellant had talked to him on this matter; she wants
to add two bedrooins. She would not be expanding the beauty ahop facility at
sll, Mre Ames said he recaaenended that she file an appeal to add these living
quarterso
In response to a question of Mr. McPartlin regarding sideyard requirements,
Mr, Rosetter said ehe building is at �he rear of the lot, and the side of the
buildfng would face the froat of the lot. A plan of the addition was submitted
to the staff. He noted there has been same questioa about the need for appeale
Non-conformiag buildings or uses are regal�ted by Section 60v09, Use District
Liffiitations and Exceptions, which is apparently interpreted to mean that no
structural alterationa may be made except as provided in thia Chapter,
Section 60.12 appears to allow an exception within certain limits. Such
exception must be appealed according to the provisions of Section 64°03 (b),
Mr, Rosetter pointed out that that Section (60e12) limits the variance to
50°,6 of the value of the huilding. The plan, as submitted, approachea the
poiat where one �st ask if this repreaenCs 50� of the valuee
The appellant, Sharon Boecker, explsined that she zents out the back now, but
would lilte to make an addition so that she can live there with her children
instead.
_21..
SHARON BOECKER (4/15/71) (Continued);
Mrs. Cochrane asked what the frontage along Palace Avenue would be if this
addition is built. Mr, Rosetter answered that the frontage would be 49
feet, and the depth would be 126.5 feet, There would be about an 80-foot
building frontage on Clevelaad Avenue. Mr, Rosetter caished to clarify
that the present zon�ng was liated on the printed staff report as both
"A" and "C" Residence, but that the proper classification is "C"
Residence. He noted in favor of the appeal that the City Council has
the power to allow this addition when it would not be inconsistent with
the health, safetq, and welfare of the public, and he noted this is a
small residential addition rather than an extension of the comnercial use
on the site. Against the appeal it could be said that the intent of the
Code ia to phase out non-conforming buildings and usea. Also, the value
of the building has not been shown. Mr, Roseteer noted that a letter in
opposition was received by the staff.
Mr, Maietta said this couldn't be expanded for comtaercial purposes because
it is zoned "C" Residence, not Cowmercisl.
Because of the stipulation of the value of the property, Mr. Benshoof
commented that perhaps the Zoning Board cannot act on this appeala
Mro McPartlin said this aspect shouldn't concern the Board; it is up to
the Board to make a recoa�endation to the City Council, and it is their
decisioa whether this should be granted.
Mra Rosetter said that if the Board moves for approvap of Chis appeal, it
should be with the condition that ft be within the limita of the Zoning
Codeo
Ir� a "C" Residence District, Mro Ames noted that a multiple-family building
is �llowed to have 25% uaed for coQmnercial purposes,
Mr, McPartlia moved for approvat of the appealo The motion was seconded by
Mrso Cochrane, and carried unaniiaously.
