WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. W A-00-08 is an appeal to this Board
from the decision of an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, the property has been posted the required fifteen days by law, and in recognition
that there were no protests registered against it; and

without substantially impairing the intent and purpose ofthe regulations governing the City of

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Board of Adjustment Application Case No.
W A-00-08 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: Twenty-foot side yard setback variance from the 30-foot side yard
setback requirement when a side yard abuts a public street in an R-I zone, thus reducing the
setback to ten feet for the purpose of constructing a detached two-car garage on property located
at 3890 Lamar street and zoned Residential-One (R-l).

1. There are unique circumstances because the applicant will be replacing two
nonconforming structures with one nonconforming structure which is architecturally
compatible.
2. It would not be detrimental to the public's welfare or injurious to other property or
improvements in the area.
3. It would not impair the adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties.

4. There will be visual buffering with a fence, trees and a grade change for the
properties most impacted as the structure will sit approximately four feet below the
29th Avenue roadway.
5. Granting of the variance results in a benefit or contribution to the neighborhood.
6. The property immediately abutting the eastern setback for the proposed garage is a
parking lot.
7. It appears to not be practical to attach the proposed garage due to the alignment of
the outside walls on the east side of the existing dwelling causing a
driveway-garage door alignment problem.
8. There appears to be no practical alternative location for a garage on this site.
9. Staff recommended approval.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
I. The existing nonconforming shed shall be removed.
2. The garage structure shall be architecturally compatible both as to design and
materials with the existing dwelling.
