Dear Sir:
This is in the matter of the appeal of the Bethany Lutheran Church to
break the building line and relax the side yard requirement on property
located on the southeast corner of Jenks Avenue and Forest Street. The
property is described as the north 26 feet of Lot 2, and Lot 1, Steven's
rearr. of Lots 13 -18 inclusive, Block 4, Forest Dale Addition. .The
zoning is "B" residence and has been since the enactment of the Ordinance
in 1922. It has been determined that the building line requested is
actually the established building line in the block, so the only matter
before the Council for consideration is the relaxation of the side yard
requirement.
The original church structure situated on Lot 1 was built in 1899. It
was - remodeled in 1953 by adding an addition to the front of the original
church which established a 12 foot building line for that lot. The pro-
perty under consideration is presently used as a lbwn for the church, and
the applicant proposes to construct a one - story, flat -roof type of addi-
tion to be used for Sunday School rooms. The side and requirement for
such a` structure is 25 feet, and the proposed addition woVIZ come within
feet o , e stance be wee
and t e nearest residence would be 29 feet, and the owner of the residence
affected has given his written consent to the proposal of the applicant.
The property under consideration has a frontage of 64.16 feet along
Forest Street and 100 feet along Jenks Avenue, resulting in an area of
6,416 square feet. The entire surrounding area is developed with single -
family residences.
Field investigation discloses no basic objections because of the type of
addition proposed, and the acquiescence of the adjoining owner who is the
only one directly affected by tbe. addition. The granting of this appeal
would not deviate from the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code, and a
denial would create a hardship on the applicant as the present church
facilities are not adequate and this is tbe�only recourse possible.
In consideration of thecabove factors, the Board of Zoning recommends
the granting of the appeal to relax the side yard requirement to 8 feet
from the south property line in accordance with applicant's plan approved
January 21, 1960.
