I. NEW BUSINESS:
B-92-30 Scott and Joann Fleming
3808 West 55th Street
Request: A .1 foot sideyard setback variance and an 8
foot front yard setback variance
Ms. Aaker informed the board the subject property is currently
developed with a single family story and one half home with a
detached garage located entirely within the rear yard. The
parcel's lot width is 90 feet and the lot depth is approximately
135 feet which is the equivalent of a lot and one half in this
particular neighborhood. The homeowners are proposing to add a new
entry, laundry room, 1/2 bath, family room, two stall garage and
storage area to the east of the existing home, add four feet into
the rear yard area to increase the existing kitchen, add a new
master bedroom to the northwest corner of the home and provide a
new front entry porch in the front yard.
Ms. Aaker concluded that due to the minimal variance request
for sideyard setback and the no net increase in front yard
encroachment, staff recommends approval of the variance request.
Staff would condition approval on the provision that the garage
storage area remain accessory storage and not be utilized for the
expansion of living area.
The proponent, Mr. Scott Flemming was present. Mr. Rick Riley
of Sawhorse was also present.
Mr. Riley explained the reason for locating storage at the
rear of the garage is because the double garage is very small and
the additional storage is needed for bikes, childrens toys, etc.
Mrs. McClelland asked Ms. Aaker what the present lot coverage
is on the site. Ms. Aaker said lot coverage is at 21.6%
Mr. Byron noted that the proposed front entry way if
constructed as depicted ties in nicely with the proposal and should
not negatively impact the surrounding neighbors.
Mr. Byron moved approval subject to staff conditions noting
that the proponent realizes that the requested storage area remain
storage area and not be converted into living space. Mr. Lewis
seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried.
II. ADJOURNMENT
the meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
