Resolution 18 -033 a resolution approving a variance to add a 372 so. ft. sunroom to the back of the home at 3421 Skycroft Drive. Planning Commissioner Jedd Larson reviewed the City Code requirements for setbacks. The Code requires a rear yard setback of 25 feet. Mr. Larson noted the applicable codes. The applicants (Thomas and Jennifer Gille) is requesting a variance to construct a sunroom that would encroach into the required rear yard setback to result in a rear yard depth of 7' and 5/8" feet. The property location was indicated on a map. The Applicant's request for a variance from the rear yard setback to allow for the construction of a sunroom is reasonable, per the findings listed in the City Code. Staff and the Plan recommends approval of the variance to encroach into the rear yard setback. A public hearing was held on March 26, 2018 and no one spoke for or against the request. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the application unanimously. Mr. Larson reviewed the criteria for and Consistency with Criteria for Variance Approval. All applicable criterion was met with the exception of b. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner — the plight of the property owner is due to the placement, construction proposed, and overall square footage of the proposed deck design. The lot is platted and home placement on the lot is relative to others in the general area. Councilmember Jenson asked how this differs from other encroachments on setbacks within the City. Mr. Larson showed an overhead map of the property and noted the setback is different because it faces Skycroft Drive rather than Skycroft Circle. The neighbors to the north have nearly the same addition as requested. Mr. Gille was present but did not choose to address the Council as the presentation covered the request.
