Address:
Description:
Zoned:
Variance
Requested:
Justification:
Robert East
2621 North Fillmore Street
Lots 1 and 2 of Block 24,
Parkview Addition
1°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 21 setback
The applicant states that the existing structural setback in
place since 1965 provides for fixed relationships within the
kitchen and dining room that preclude the placement of the
addition at another location. Specific justification for
the fireplace variance is not offered except that he would
like to place it as shown.
Present Use of
the Property: Single Family
Proposed Use of
the Property: Remain the same with additional floor
space
STAFF REPORT
A. Engineering Issues
None attendant to this request.
B. Staff Analysis
The staff view of this request is that it is justified
only for the room addition proposed and not for the
fireplace location. The present alignment of the house
at a 4 -foot setback will not be significantly expanded
by an 8 -foot addition to the west, if this is the last
structural change. We see a potential for a future
garage or carport addition which could extend the
4 -foot side yard another 20 plus feet. We do not
encourage such a construction and suggest that if the
Board feels disposed to grant the room variance, that a

Item No. 3 - Continued
prohibition be attached. As to the fireplace, we feel
that the owner should research the possibility of
constructing a fireplace with the outside wall flush
with the 4 -foot setback line and projecting into the
room area. We feel the length of the addition and
relationship with adjacent residences are basis for
denial of the fireplace.
C. Staff Recommendation
Approval of the 8' x 121 room addition and denial of
the fireplace setback.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
Mr. East, the applicant, was present and addressed the
Board. There were no objectors in attendance. A brief
discussion was held concerning the modification of the
chimney dimension to a 14 -inch intrusion into the side yard.
Staff suggested its recommendation was not modified by this
change. The Board then acted on a motion to approve the
application as filed with the modification on the chimney to
allow a 14 -inch intrusion into the side yard. The motion
passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nay.
