Z-3856 Staff AnalysisJuly 19, 1982
Item No. 4 - Z-3856
Owner: Steve Tegethoff
Address: 514 East 9th Street
Description: Long legal
Zoned: "HR°' High Density Residential
Variance
Requested: Relief from bulk and area provisions of
Section 43-36 to permit a 6' 10" rear
yard for an addition.
Present Use of
Property: Multifamily
Proposed Use of
Property: Same expanded
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant is renovating the existing apartment on this
site and is requesting setback variances which will permit a.
major addition to the existing carriage house. The addition
onto the carriage house will permit its conversion into
another apartment unit. There is no on-site parking for
this property.
The property shown immediately northeast of the apartment
site is used for parking, as is the property which would tie
these two parcels into an "L" shaped lot. Sole access to
both these parking areas is from two drives which open onto
8th Street to the north and cross someone else's property.
To our knowledge, there is no legal right of access to these
properties.
The structural relationships of all of the properties in
this areas are very tight. It appears that it would be
unwise to permit additional expansion of structures within
this area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial.

Item No. 4 - Continued
BOARD ACTION:
The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. The
applicant stated that the property had been purchased 18
months previously and that the main structure had been
converted from an 8 -unit boarding house to a 4 -unit
apartment. He stated that the intention was to convert the
carriage house into a fifth apartment unit. He stated that
the carriage house has no plumbing at the present time and
that the addition would be necessary in order to provide
those facilities. He stated that the access drive to their
parking area was owned by Quapaw Realty Company and that
they have permission to use it for their access.
After lengthy discussion, the Board moved to approve the
application as filed with the condition that the applicant
provide an adequate number of parking spaces for the five
units proposed. The motion passed - 4 ayes, 0 noes,
3 absent.
