Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes February 16, 2022 Page 3of5 setbacks are contingent upon the width of the lot itself. The subject property has a lot width of approximately 62.5 feet. Therefore, the setbacks are as follows: Front Yard Setback: Minimum 20' (unless reduced per Section 17.16.080) / Maximum 25' Street Side Yard Setback: 15' Principal Structure / 15' Accessory Structure Interior Side Yard Setback: 7' Principal Structure / 3' Accessory Structure Rear Yard Setback: 25' Principal Structure / Accessory Structure dependent upon notes in Section 17.12.050(L)2 The applicant is requesting a variance to allow construction of a 96 sq ft addition, replacing a 48 sq ft addition. She concludes her presentation by reviewing the six variance criteria. The following indicates staff's analysis of each criteria: Criteria 1 - Criterion Met • While the lot is a relatively conforming shape and size for the R-L zoning district, the residence was built over 100 years ago facing south toward Pine, rather than facing west toward McKinley. Criteria 2 - Criterion Met • Staff finds that there are unusual circumstances that support meeting this criterion. Criteria 3 - Criterion Met • In order to conform to required building setbacks, the addition would have be moved roughly 8 feet to the east and the house was originally built in 1907. Criteria 4 - Criterion Met • The existing nonconforming setback created by the configuration of the structure, which was first constructed in 1907 and is not the result of any actions by the applicant. Criteria 5 - Criterion Met • Staff finds that the proposal would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Criteria 6 - Criterion Met • The applicant is proposing to rebuild an addition and add 48 sq ft to the total lot coverage. Staff Recommendations: Staff finds that all six criteria in Municipal code Section 17.48.110 are met and recommends approval with no conditions. Board Questions of Staff.- Nakari asks if there are any letters or statements from the surrounding neighbors that are in support or denial of the proposal.
