Dear Madam:
This is in the matter of the appeal of the First Lutheran Church to es-
tablisb a zero foot setback from Maria Avenue on property located on the
west side of Maria Avenue at 8th Street extended which is described as
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2 and vacated 8th Street adjoin-
ing, Auditor's Sub. # 73. The property is zoned heavy industry and t1C11
residence.
A portion of the site is developed with a large residence which is used
for Sunday School purposes. It is proposed to remove this structure and
erect an educational building on a portion of the subject property. This
is an irregularly shaped tract of land consisting of three platted lots
and part of a vacated street. The subject property has a, frontage of 112
feet on the west side of Maria Avenue and the remaining 183 feet abuts re-
cently vacated Maria Avenue (9/26/63) resulting in an area of approximately
56,981 square feet.
To the north and adjoining is an extremely deep ravine; to the east and
adjoining is a recently vacated portion of Maria Avenue which is now owned
by the church; west and adjoining, in part, is a ravine. There is also a
parking lot adjacent and approximately 20 feet below the grade of the sub-
ject property. South and adjoining is a single - family residence which is
set back approximately 20 feet from Maria Avenue. Because of the topography
of the subject property, it appears impossible for the applicant to maintain
the setback required under the Zoning Code, and therefore a relaxation is
requested. Field investigation discloses that the applicant's request appears
reasonable and that the appeal to establish a setback of zero feet from Maria
Avenue is a legitimate variance. The plan submitted by the applicant indi-
cates that only the entrance to the proposed structure would have a setback
of zero feet, the remaining part of the structure would have an average set-
back of approximately 16 feet. It does not appear that the setback as re-
quested would have a detrimental effect on the single - family residence in
the block to the south.
In consideration of the above factors, the Board of Zoning recommends the
granting of the appeal to establish a setback of zero (0') feet on the
above described property.
Sincerely, ,
