Meeting Date 7/23/90 • Agenda Item F-1 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request for a variance from section 9-2.04 (1)(c) of the zoning code, the corner sideyard setback, by Mr. Louis Payin of 1463 West California in order to construct a garage. SIIBMITTED BY: Mr. Louis Payin, property owner, 1463 W. California REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Planner E%PLANATION/DESCRIPTION: Mr. Louis Payin of 1463 West California is requesting a variance from section 9-2.04 (1)(c} of the zoning code in order to construct a new garage to replace a deteriorating existing garage on his lot. The zoning code requires the garage to be located 15 ft. from the corner sideyard property line, if the access door is onto the side street (attachment 1). Mr. Payin's existing garage accesses onto the side street, Pascal, and is 6 ft. from the corner side property line. He proposes to construct his new garage 10 feet from the corner sideyard property line. • The following unique hardships were given regarding the need for a variance: 1. The garage access cannot be located 15 ft. back from the corner side property line because of the large maple tree behind the garage which the property owner does not want to sacrif ice (attachment 2 ) . 2. The garage access cannot be located on the west side of the property because of a large maple tree behind the existing garage which the property owner does not want to sacrifice. (attachment 2). 3. The garage access cannot be located onto the alley because of a gasline release valve several feet high on the property line where the driveway would be located (attachment 2). These conditions appear to meet the standards for granting a variance in section 9-15,03(4) (attachment 3). Due to the existence of a large tree and the large gasline release valve conditions 15.03 (4) (c) for the enjoyment of the property and 15.03 (4)(g) unique characteristics of the site may apply. ACTION REQIIESTED: 1. Review and discuss. • 2. Recommend approval. (Resolution must state reasons for approving or denying the variance).
