ITEM NO.: 1
File No.: Z-2401 -A
Owner: David and Elizabeth Jones
Applicant: Elizabeth Jones
Address: 4801 Hawthorne Road
Description: Southwest corner of Hawthorne Road and N. Spruce Street
Zoned: R-2
Variance Requested: A variance is requested from the area provisions of Section 36-254
to allow a building addition with a reduced rear yard setback.
Justification: The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter.
Present Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential
STAFF REPORT
A. Public Worcs Issues:
No Comments
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 4801 Hawthorne Road is occupied by a two-story frame
single family residence. The property is located at the southwest corner of
Hawthorne Road and N. Spruce Street. There is a circular driveway from
Hawthorne Road which serves as access to the property. The westernmost
driveway ties into a shared driveway which runs along the west property line. The
shared drive also serves the properties immediately to the west and south. A
carport is located on the west end of the residence.
The applicant proposes to remove the western portion of the residence and
construct a new addition in its place, as noted on the attached site plan. The west
end of the addition will be one story construction with living space above. It will
include a new garage, front -loading from Hawthorne Road. The portion of the
addition between it and the remainder of the existing residence will be two-story in
height. The addition will maintain the same 32.5 foot setback from the north side
property line as the existing residence. The addition will be located 11 feet to 15
feet back from the south side property line. The addition will be set back 3.75 to
9.5 feet back from the rear (west) property line. The addition will not encroach into
the existing shared access easement.
MAY 23, 2011
ITEM NO.: 1 (CON'T.)
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear
(west) setback of eight (8) feet for this R-2 zoned lot. This is based on the
residence being set back over 25 feet from both the front (east) and north, street
side property lines. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance from this
ordinance requirement to allow the proposed addition with a rear setback ranging
from 3.75 to 9.5 feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested rear setback variance. Staff views the request
as reasonable. The requested rear setback will not be out of character with other
structures in this neighborhood. The overall massing of the structure on the lot as
proposed is relatively the same as if the garage were detached and located on the
lot as per ordinance requirements. In addition, based on the fact that the
residence is located over 25 feet back from both the front and street side property
lines, the maintenance of these setbacks greatly reduces the lot's buildable area.
The overall lot coverage proposed will be 29.6 percent. Staff believes the
proposed building addition with reduced rear setback will have no adverse impact
on the adjacent properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear setback variance, subject to the
following conditions:
1. A building permit must be obtained for all construction.
2. Any future building addition(s) must not be located any closer than 25 feet
to the north, street side property line without additional Board of
Adjustment approval.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (MAY 23, 2011)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the
application with a recommendation of approval, with conditions. The item was placed
on the Consent Agenda and approved, as recommended by staff with a vote of 4 ayes,
0 nays and 1 absent.

Dear Board of Adjustment,
We respectfully ask you to consider our Application for a Zoning Variance for our
home at 4801 Hawthorne Rd. We love the original part of our 1936 salt -box style
house and in remodeling it would like to keep as much as the original "feel" to the
house as possible. We've included a copy of American Home magazine from
September 1944 that featured our home on the cover with this application so you
can picture the general "look" and "feel" that we'd like to preserve in the remodel
process. As much as we want to maintain this original look, we also need the house
to serve as our long-term home and to function well for a family with three young
children.
The purpose of applying for a zoning variance is so that the western side of the
house might be rebuilt to include a front -loading garage and a first -floor bedroom.
We currently share a driveway with two other homes on that side of the house so
there are at least six cars or trucks using one driveway on a daily basis. We are
concerned about the safety of our three young children when they ride their bikes
and play with their outdoor toys in our garage and driveway as well as the
inconvenience it poses on the neighbors to have to use extreme caution when
entering and exiting the shared driveway. With the proposed remodel, the garage
will become front -loading eliminating the need for our family's cars, bikes, and toys
to use the shared driveway and also eliminating the extra vigilance that the
neighbors feel they need to use when coming and going in the driveway. The garage
comes closer to the western property line to include room for two cars, bikes and
hypothetical golf cart storage. The proposed addition also accommodates two
closets in the downstairs playroom. We feel like the closets are important so that
the playroom has the flexibility of becoming the only first -floor bedroom in case we
need to take care of our aging parents, or any of us for that matter, who cannot
climb stairs to reach the second -story bedrooms. Please see the attached
preliminary plans from architect Charles Shipp for reference.
We hope you will consider a zoning variance for our property so that we can
continue with our goal of preserving the historical 1936 -era portion of our home
while adding a practical addition that will be more convenient for our neighbors and
that will allow us to have a first -floor bedroom if we should ever need it.
Sincerely,
David and Elizabeth Jones
