Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes June 15, 2016 Page 11 of 17 Questions from Board to Applicant: DeJong asks in regard to the submission made by the applicant, there are multiple pages. On page 4, there is an explanation for design direction from a Patty Phan. Second paragraph, first sentence, it says "have the second floor addition on the side yard of the house overhang the original foundation line." If I am to understand the original foundation line, the house was originally larger and was 5' into the setback at one time. Rachel Fox says I asked Patty why she drew that way. When we first moved into the house, there was a wood deck on that side which I don't think was original to the house. I don't know the rules about decks and how far they can go out. DeJong says what I am asking is, was there an original structure buj to the setback that had to be removed. Dan Fox says the balcony was in the setback originally. There ors to the balcony from the bedroom. DeJong says in your submission, the paragraph answering Criterion #2 says "Another house in our neighborhood, again our same model, which was recently renovated, was able to grow out to the side and out the back, in ways that we cannot, based on their position on a cul-de-sac." This is the same model of structure but it is not a corner lot. Rachel Fox says it is in the opposite side of the cul-de-sac. DeJong says that house had different setback criteria associated with that lot. As far as corner lots of similar orientation, we can only see one within this overhead now shown, across the street due south of your property. Within the Dutch Creek neighborhood, are there other corners of similar size and similar orientation? Robinson says I don't know how manare others. Dan Fox says there are others. To me, , w.. •ughout" means it is more than a tiny percentage. Because of the curved corne here - • id -like intersections. DeJong clarifies there are other properties filar yours. Campbell asks who designed this. Is she a Rachel Fox says Patty Phan was our origina with Elmer Horner, Littleton, CO. Campbell says I am trying to picture if this happ look like with a second th It's have trouble with that. Rachel Fox says that structure is starting to pop up a lot, perhaps not in Dutch Creek. I have seen them on Lincoln and Jefferson. Dan Fox says this is our south facing area so there would be benefits for us. Meseck says looking at the property to northeast, are those neighbors represented in the letters or those who want to speak tonight? Rachel Fox says no. Dan Fox says they would be worse off if we built what Staff has recommended. It would push towards their house. Ewy says your neighbors near the 5' side yard setback; are they pretty close given the wedge that their lot is? Are they built close to the property line? Rachel Fox says neighbors directly next door with houses that face the same direction, I believe they are 5' from the line. The house behind us has a garage that is probably right about that. Ewy says by right, they could be 10' from a neighbor or with variance, 10' from the street. Rachel Fox says I emailed all of our direct neighbors on the cul-de-sac and let them know what we are proposing and asked if they had any questions. Paul El Tabib from across the street is in support. The Jones/Kahn family wanted to be here as well. t? gner and architect. We did our final drawings in my neighborhood, what it would really antilevered, but has posts to the ground. I Public Present in Favor of Application: Eric Eisen, 322 Lilac Circle, Louisville, CO
