Variance
Requested:
JUSTIFICATION:
William D. Luna Craver
#40 Nob View Circle
Lot 188, Leawood Heights 3rd Addition
"R-2" Single Family District
From the side yard setback provisions of
Section 43/7-101.2.D of the Code of
Ordinances to permit construction of a
garage with a 2 -foot setback. Ordinance
requirement is 8 feet.
The owner states that the lot has a narrow frontage on a
curving street which creates design problems. This driveway
Paired with the south driveway will allow a circle drive to
permit safe forward entry onto the street.
Present Use
of the Property: Residence
Proposed Use
of the Property: Remain the same with new 18' x 28'
garage.
STAFF REPORT:
A. Engineering Issues
There were none reported.
B. Staff Analysis
The request filed is similar in nature to many previous
applications in that a true hardship does not exist.
This owner limits his vehicular use on the lot by not
maintaining all parking in the original garage and the
south side of the lot which has a larger setback.
There is a great problem on the lot, but it is not
viewed as an insurmountable problem for design of
parking area.

Item No. 2 - Continued
C. Staff Recommendation
Staff does not support the requested variance.
However, if the Board determines a variance is in
i order, we would encourage that two conditions be
applied: (1) An open carport be constructed with as
little overhang as possible on the north side. Only
one wall would be closed. (2) That it be compatible
with the residence in appearance, i.e., no shed or flat
roof, especially metal construction.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
The applicant was not present. The Chairman noted for the
record that the Board's Bylaws require that in those
y instances where the application is not represented, that the
item be automatically deferred until the next meeting. A
motion was made to defer the application to the
March 19, 1984, Board meeting. The motion passed by a vote
of 5 ayes, 0 noes and 4 open positions.
Note: After the meeting, a letter was submitted to the
staff requesting withdrawal of this item from further
consideration.
