08/22/96 THU 09:04 FAX 444 ST ANTHONY 16 010 Planning Commission regular Meeting Minutes August 20, 1996 • Page 10 1 Because of financing requirements established through HUD, subdivision of the property was 2 done earlier this year creating separate lots for Chandler Place and St. Anthony Health Care 3 Center. This was done to Insure that funds to be used for the expansion went to the St. Anthony 4 Health Care Center only. But in creating two separate lots to facilitate financing of the proposed 5 addition;the existing facilities are in close proximity to each other. The proposed addition to the 6 St. Anthony Health Care Center will now require a 25 foot variance for the rear yard and a seven 7 foot sideyard setback in order to be constructed. 8 Mr.Miller has filed an application for a 25 foot variance to the City's Rear Yard Setback 9 Ordinance requirement. The ordinance requires that the rear yard must have a depth equal to or 10 greater of 20% of the entire lot or 40 feet in an R-4 zoning district. Mr.Miller has also filed an 11 application fora 7 foot variance to the City's Side Yard Setback Ordinance requirement. The 12 ordinance requires that there must be two side yards with a muumum width of 15 feet between the 13 property line and the side of a structure in an R-4 zoning district. 14 The variance to the rear yard setback and side yard setback are necessary in order to complete the 15 proposed addition. Tf the variance requests are not approved,the St. Anthony Health Care facility 16 will not be able to alleviate the crowding conditions that four beds to a room creates, thereby 17 causing an undue hardship to continue to exist. The rear and side and in question are adjacent to Chandler Place,which is owned and • is y q � 19 administered by the same owners of the St. Anthony Health Care facility. There also exists an 20 easement between the two existing facilities further south along the same lot line that allows for 21 the'transport of meals from the kitchen of the St. Anthony Health Care facility to the dining area 22 of Chandler Place. There will not be detrimental impact to Chandler Place should these variance 23 requests be approved. 24 The purpose of the proposed variances is not based solely on a desire to increase the value or 25 income potential of this property,but will correct overcrowding with an updated and modern 26 nursing home facility. 27 Staff is recommending that the rear yard setback variance request of 25 feet and the sideyard 28 setback variance request of 7 feet for the SW corner of St. Anthony Health Care Center be 29 approved. 30 The proposed expansion will also require the owners to obtain a variance for lot coverage. 31 Because of the need for increased parking and the proposed addition,the total coverage by 32 impervious surfaces of both lots is 123,401 square feet;the combined total square footage of the 33 lots is 218,980, which translates to a lot coverage of 56%. The City Ordinance allows a 34 maximum of 50%lot coverage in an R-4 zoning district. Therefore,the owners are required to 35 obtain a lot coverage variance of 13,911 square feet. • 36 Mr.Miller has filed an application for a lot coverage variance of 13,911 square feet. Again,the 37 variance for lot coverage is necessary in order to complete the proposed addition. If the variance
