March 10, 2020 Page 6 SUMMARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION Side Yard Setback Variance. Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback encroachment variance at 3404 Roosevelt Street NE with the following conditions: A. The applicant is able to verify the setback distance as a part of the building permitting process, based on the existing survey and established lot lines. B. The addition will consist of building materials and architecture that match the existing structure. C. The addition will be no more than a single story in height, consistent with the existing building height. D. The roof of the addition will include an eave of no more than 6 inches in width, to minimize encroachment toward the abutting property line. This recommendation is based on a finding that the proposed addition is consistent with the character of the neighborhood, and constitutes reasonable use of the property, overcoming practical difficulties related to alternatives that would raise issues of impact on adjoining property, increase impervious surface, or minimize benefit to neighborhood character. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision 1. Variance to Side Yard Setback 1. Motion to approve the request for a variance to the side yard setback for construction of a single car garage addition, of a single story in height, with the proposed 5 foot setback at 3404 Roosevelt Street NE, adopting the attached resolution declaring terms of the same. 2. Motion to deny of the variance as requested. In the event of a vote for denial, the City Council should state its findings related to denial. 3.
