Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes August 18, 2021 Page 2 of 5 Cooper states that for the requested variance to be approved, four (4) votes will be needed to be affirmative. Hassan verifies the application to be heard this evening is complete, and was mailed to the surrounding property owners on July 30, 2021, published in the Boulder Daily Camera on August 1, 2021, and the property was posted on July 30, 2021. Motion passes unanimously by voice vote that all requirements have been satisfied and the application submitted by the applicant has been properly filed. Cooper asks if anyone at the hearing has any objections to the hearing procedures she described and asks if there were any other preliminary matters that needed to be taken care of. None are heard. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: Cooper asks for disclosures from the board members for any site visits, ex parte communications, and any conflicts of interest or required disclosures for the application. All Board members indicate they did not have any ex parte communications or any conflicts of interest for the application. Cooper asks the applicant if they are ready to proceed with the hearing. The applicant indicates they are ready to proceed with the hearing. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Hassan informs the board that this application is a request for a variance from the Residential Estate (R-E) minimum front setback (Centennial Drive) of thirty feet to allow a second -story addition on an existing first -story front setback of twenty-six feet and ten inches. She shows the location by displaying aerial photos and reviews the background history of the property. This property is in the Louisville North First Filing subdivision and was built in 1985. She says that the home appears to meet the underlying zoning standards with the exception of the front setback of 26ft-10in, which is below the minimum 30ft front setback requirement. Records show consistent R-E zoning designation and standards on the property since approval of the subdivision, with no previous variances on file for the front setback encroachment. She mentions that the requested variance would allow the construction of a second story addition on top of the existing one-story home. The southern portion of the addition above the garage encroaches into the 30ft front setback and is proposed at 26ft-10in from the front property line at its most constrained point. This results in approximately 47 square feet of the addition encroaching into the front -yard setback area.
