Paul and Elizabeth Bert
1700 N. Taylor Street
Lot 5, Block 21, Mountain Park
Addition
R-2
From the area regulations of
Section 36-254 to permit
construction of an addition with a
reduced side yard setback of 1.3
feet. The Ordinance requires a
side yard setback of 5 feet in the
R-2 district for a 50 foot wide
lot.
Currently, the rear 10 feet of the
house is a poorly constructed,
uninsulated slant roof addition.
The applicant proposes to
completely rebuild this area and
expand an additional 9 feet. In
order to maintain continuity with
the rest of this existing house, a
variance is necessary.

The rear 10 feet of this existing, one-story frame residence
is a poorly constructed, uninsulated slant roof addition.
The applicant proposes to completely rebuild this area and
add an additional 9 feet. The proposed remodeling and
addition will maintain the existing roof line of the house.
The house currently has a side yard setback on the "P"
Street side of 1.3 feet. A side yard setback of 5 feet is
required in the R-2 district for a 50 foot wide lot.

Item No.: 3 (Cont.)_
"P" Street is a narrow, chip -sealed street located within a
50 foot right-of-way. The house is actually located
approximately 20 feet from the edge of the street itself,
giving the appearance of a greater setback than 1.3 feet.
The proposed addition will not be out of character with the
neighborhood which contains several other homes which also
have reduced setbacks from the narrow, substandard streets.
Staff believes the proposal is reasonable and supports the
side yard setback variance.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard
variance.
