Address:
Description:
Zoned:
Variance
Requested:
Justification:
Patrick Goss
2800 North Taylor Street
Park of Block 16, Parkview Addition
"R-2" Single Family District
From the side yard setback provisions of
Section 43-7-101.2 of the Code of
Ordinances to permit a 2.11 setback
The applicant states that the proposed construction will
provide for additional floor space for removal of a laundry
area from the kitchen. This will allow for a seating area
for eat in kitchen arrangement plus the addition will house
a new storage area to replace a storm damaged outbuilding.
A pantry will also be included within the area. The floor
layout of the house dictates the location of the addition
there being no further option.
Present Use of
the Property: Single Family
Proposed Use of
the Property: Remain the same with additional
structural space
STAFF REPORT
A.
Engineering Issues
None attendant to this request.
B. Staff Analvsis
The staff review of this proposal does not reveal
information which suggests that the variance is
warranted. It is obvious that there is a family
circumstance which could be remedied by the addition.
However, in the interest of consistency, we feel
compelled to retain as much of a required yard area as
possible. We observed that the neighbor on the north
has maintained a good side yard relationship and from a
pure visibility standpoint, the intrusion would not be
offensive. We do not feel it is appropriate to require
the owner on the north to maintain the needed light,
air and safety aspects of the setback requirement
within his lot.

C. Staff Recommendation
Denial of the variance request. We would further like
to point out for the record that the addition noted on
the front of the house is not included for variance but
for informational purposes. We would suggest that the
applicant pursue further review of design possibilities
with his architect.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
A letter was presented to the Board from Mr. Goss requesting
the withdrawal of this item from further consideration. He
stated in his letter of request that he had redesigned the
proposed structure so as to remove the variance required.
The Board voted on a motion to withdraw this item from the
agenda. The motion passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nay.
