II. NEW BUSINESS:
B-93-15 Nick Miller Contracting
5528 West 70th Street
Lot 17, Block 6, Le Buena Vista
Recruest: A 13 foot rearyard setback variance for
addition to the rear of the home
Ms. Aaker told the Board that Nick Miller Contracting has
submitted an application to the City for a rearyard setback
variance for a property located north of West 70th Street and west
of Hillside lane. The variance is to allow for the addition of a
family room in the location of an existing porch. According to the
survey in building department records, the existing porch is non-
conforming in terms of rearyard setback. The family room would
expand the area of the existing porch along the back side of the
house however, would not increase the existing 13 foot encroachment
into the rearyard setback.
Ms. Aaker concluded staff recommends approval for rearyard
setback variance request based upon hardship created by the
placement of the house and limited expansion options.
The property owner, along with David Miller, a representative
from Nick Miller Construction Company were present.
A discussion ensued with board members in agreement that this
property does experience a hardship. Board members suggested that
the proponent have a surveying company find the rear yard lot line
and record it with the city.
Mrs. McClelland moved approval subject to staff conditions and
recommending that the proponent have a surveying company chart the
rear yard line and file the new survey with the city. Mr. Patton
seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. Mrs.
McClelland also noted that she would like to see the addition
constructed with like materials. All voted aye; motion carried.
