Single Family
The R-3 zoned lot at 2209 Boulevard Avenue is occupied by a
small, one-story, frame, single-family residence. The home
has an attached carport with a side yard setback of 2.7
feet. The Code requires a side yard setback of 5 feet for
this lot. The applicant proposes to substantially remodel
the home including enclosing the carport to convert it into
a garage, adding a 12' X 14' addition to the rear of the
carport/garage for a new bedroom and adding a 10 foot
addition onto the front of the house for an enclosed porch
and another room. The bedroom addition will maintain the
existing 2.7 foot side yard setback. The addition onto the
front will result in a front yard setback of 21 feet. The
Code requires side yard and front yard setbacks of 5 feet
and 25 feet respectively for this lot.

Item NQ.: 9 Cont.
Staff believes the variance requests to be reasonable.
Allowing the enclosure of the carport will not increase the
impact of the reduced side yard setback. Permitting the
proposed bedroom addition to maintain the existing 2.7 foot
side yard allows for adequate separation between this,home
and the home on the adjacent lot. 2.7 feet allows for
maintenance of the structure without encroaching on the
neighboring property and should not create a water run-off
issue. The proposed 21 foot yard setback should also not
create a negative impact on adjacent properties or on,•
traffic in the street. Boulevard Avenue, at this point, is
a 1 1/ block dead end street, ending at a point 150 feet
north of 24`h Street. The porch addition will set back 33-34
feet behind the street curb.
C. Staff Recor=endation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard and
front yard setback variances subject to compliance with the
following condition:
1. If the roof of the carport and proposed bedroom addition
slopes toward the property line on the north, guttering

prevent water run-off onto the neighboring property.
