SUBJECT:
Variances for inoperable vehicles
DATE:
March 27, 2003
Staff has put together some initial thoughts on the new category of variances, which the Board will
be reviewing.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 36-2002, in all residential zo districts, the keeping of one vehicle in
non-operative condition is allowed. Such vehicle cannot be parked within 6' of the front property
line and must be completely covered with a standard vehicle cover,
The ordinance continues that a property owner can apply to the BOA for variance from limitation of
one for the purpose of outside storage of additional non-operative vehicles. The application shall be
processed according to Section 26-115, and requiresnosting, vublication_anJLp&L1*1;�' • _f
The Board can attach conditions to an approval relating to location on the property and method of
screening or covering the vehicle being restored. The public hearing is quasi-judicial in nature and
the voting patterns designated under section 2-53 shall be followed (greater than majority rule).
I - Will granting of the TIVP alter the character of the locality?
2. Will granting of the TIVP contribute to blight in the neighborhood?
3. Will the inoperable vehicle • adequately screened from adjacent properties
public streets?
4. History of compliance of zoning violations by the applicant?
5. Will the restoration create environmental hazards (use of paint, body work, welding,
ground contamination)?
6. Other factors for consideration

If the request is denied, the property may still receive a reasonable return in use. The property is
currently utilized as a single-family residence, and this use may continue.
2. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality?
The size of the shed is 80 square feet, and is located in the same location as a previous shed.

meet the setback requirement.
3. Does the particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific
property involved result in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried
out?
The lot in question is a comer lot without significant depth. A 30-foot setback from any street is
required for any structure in the R-lA zone district. This setback requirement renders
approximately 5,610 square feet of the property unusable. The applicant has stated that significant
areas of landscaping and hardscaping would need to be removed or altered if the shed is to be
located elsewhere on the property.
Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest
in the property?
The applicant, who has sole interest in the property, has created a self-imposed hardship by
proposing a structure that does not meet the setback requirement for the district. A shed previously

existed on the property in the same location as the new shed. The applicant did not know that a
permit was required for a shed under 120 square feet in size.

request would not increase congestion in the streets, nor increase the danger of fire. The request
would most likely not have an effect on property values in the neighborhood.
6. If criteria 1 through 5 are found, then, would the granting of the variance result in a benefit or
contribution to the neighborhood or the community, as distinguished from an individual
benefit on the part of the applicant, or would granting of the variance result in a reasonable
accommodation of a person with disabilities?
The request would not result in a contribution or benefit to the neighborhood, and would merely be
a convenience for the property owners. The request would not result in a reasonable accommodation

This is to explain an application for a variance for a storage shed located 18" from the
south fence/lot line of our property. This shed was placed on a previous base
location. A building permit was not obtained prior to installation since a contractor
acquaintance had informed me that a permit was not required if the structure was to
be less than 120 square feet (our misunderstanding).
This is the only reasonable location in the small rear yard (approximately 1/4 of yard
size - 1,260 square feet). The rest of the area is comer front and side yard. If the
shed were moved west, it would shrink - the already small yard. Moved inward from
the fence line, it would be into a tree base and upward on a hillside/slope, if closer tt.

H. SITE PLAN
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a variance request:
1. Can the property in question yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted
to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is
located?
If the request is denied, the property may still receive a reasonable return in use. The property is
currently utilized as a single-family residence and for agricultural uses, and these uses may
continue,
2. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality?
Board of Adjustment 2
WA-03-06, Wbiteman
3. Does the particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific
property involved result in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried
out?
The property is rectangular in shape and relatively flat. At 268,848 square feet, the lot exceeds the
minimum lot size requirement in the A- I zone district. The property has lot frontage of
approximately 362 feet, which exceeds the minimum lot width requirement for a single-family
residence in the A- I zone district, There are no unique topographical conditions that exist on the
property that render any portion of the lot unbuildable.
4. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest
in the property?
The applicant, who has sole interest in the property, has created a self-imposed hardship. The
applicant did not have PCL Construction remove the fence when they were done with the sound
wall project.

The adequate supply of light and air would not be compromised as a result of the request. The
request would not increase congestion in the streets, nor increase the danger of fire, The request
could have a negative effect on property values in the neighborhood.
6. If criteria I through 5 are found, then, would the granting of the variance result in a benefit or
trhutioxr.to the comm unity, ,as, distinguished
benefit on the part of the applicant, or would granting of the variance result in a reasonable
accommodation of a person with disabilities?
The reMuest would not result in a contribution or benefit to the
a convenience for the property owners. The request would not result in a reasonable accommodation
of a person with 1 isabilities.
