MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 06/10/03 MEETING DATE: 06/17/03 <br /> TO: Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manage�As <br /> SUBJECT: 281336 th Avenue NE: Side Yard Variance Request <br /> Requested Action: <br /> Dave Stepan, property owner of the single-family residential lot at 2813 36th Avenue NE, <br /> is requesting a side yard variance of 13 feet for a proposed distance of 32 feet from the <br /> curb for proposed addition. <br /> Background: <br /> The City's single-family residential zoning code states that a side yard adjacent to a <br /> street must be at least 30 feet wide. In addition, it is a standard city requirement to allow <br /> for an additional setback of 15 feet for the easement/public right of way. Given this, Mr. <br /> Stepan must be a total of 45 feet from curb to the new addition along Belden Drive (see <br /> sketch attached). The sketch plan from Mr. Stepan shows a proposed distance of 32'2" <br /> from the curb. He is asking for a side yard variance of 13 feet. The proposed bedroom <br /> addition measures 16 X 16. <br /> Mr. Stepan points to the undue hardship as not having the accommodations needed. <br /> The need, explained in the attached letter from the applicant, is that an addition will <br /> make for an acceptable living situation for his family. He goes onto explain the corner lot <br /> city requirements restrict him from adding on needed space (see applicant letter <br /> attached). He is asking for reprieve for his circumstances. <br /> Attachments: <br /> • Application for Variance (Applicant Letter) <br /> • Addition Sketch <br />
