Mark Stodola and Jo Ellen Stodola
1923 North Tyler Street
Lot 14, Block 2, Englewood Addition
R-2 Single Family
A variance is requested from the
provisions of Section 36-254 of the
Code of Ordinances to permit
construction of a garage and
breezeway addition to the principal
structure, a single family
dwelling.
The garage is desired because there
is very little parking available.
The garage and breezeway will
shield the backyard from the heavy
traffic count on Kavanaugh Blvd.

Department.

B. Staff An 1 sis•
This application is a refiling of a Board case approved on
October 26, 1992. The approval of that variance expired
after two years, plus, the owner now desires to modify the
request to include a 12' X 35' enclosed breezeway between
August 2$, 1995
Item Na.. A Cant.)
the house and garage. The garage has been downsized from
24' X 28' to 22' X 281.
Staff has much the same concern for sight distance at the
alley, as Public Works, and feels that setting the structure
back to the current fence line will help. We also feel that
if the building and fence are tied together to form a
continuous opaque barrier, this will eliminate a space
between the fence and garage. The fence and garage cannot
occupy the property line.
C. S aff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval with changes suggested in
analysis.

create a problem since there is no sidewalk along this portion of

sidewalk along Kavanaugh Blvd. where it is adjacent to his
property and that he would install guttering on the new addition
if water run-off created a problem.
