MURDOCK AVENUE GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND HGM Architecture, applicant, Harold Eichstadt, owner, requests a variance to construct a 9' 8" x 17' 4" addition to a commercial structure which will result in a 22' front yard setback from W. Murdock Ave. and a 12' 2" front yard setback from Vinland St.; whereas Section 30-35(B)(1)(c) requires a 25' front yard transitional setback from W. Murdock Avenue and Vinland Street. The general area is characterized by residential uses, and is zoned C-1 Neighborhood Business. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION In reviewing a variance request, the following questions should be addressed: Is there an unusual or unique characteristic about the subject property which creates a hardship? Is the hardship self-created? Is the variance being requested the least possible needed to remove any hardship? Will granting of the variance have a considerable adverse impact on the neighboring properties? The applicant is requesting variances to construct a 9' 8" x 17' 4" addition to a commercial structure at the corner of W. Murdock Ave. and Vinland Street. The existing building has a substandard front yard setback of 21' 10" from Vinland St. and the proposed addition will encroach an additional 9' 8" into the setback making a variance of 12'2" from Vinland St. necessary. It is estimated the addition will cost more than 50 percent of the current assessed value of the existing structure so a variance to allow for a front yard setback of 22' from Murdock Ave. is also necessary. There does not appear to be an unusual or unique characteristic of the property that creates a hardship; in fact the property seems to be large enough that there are alternatives for expansion which would not require variances. It would seem the location of the addition is one of preference versus a hardship, and as a result staff recommends denial of the variances. If, however, it is the Boards perception there will be no adverse impact on neighboring properties and feels the variances may be warranted, the following conditions should be attached to the variances: 1) The asphalt between the building and Murdock Ave. and the building and Vinland St. be removed and landscaping be installed in this area per a landscape plan approved by the Department of Community Development. 2) The area between the new parking spaces on the west side of the building and Murdock Ave., as well as the transitional yard on the west side of the property, be landscaped per a landscape plan approved by the Department of Community Development with said plan to provide screening for the parking per Section 31-35 (I)(2) of the City Zoning Ordinance. ; /�� j r nrint'n BLACK 1NK �� `-�"° � ��""" `' � �" `"` Return to:Departrnent of Community Development � �CT �g 199° 215 Church Ave.,PO Box 1130i t f � C I T Y O F _O S H K O S H Oshkosh,WI 54902-]130 � r APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE � � Please write legibly with black ink and also submit a complete reFroducible(maximum siu 11"x l7")site plan.(A complete site s plan includes,but is not limited to,all structures,lot lines and meeu with distances to each.)

In order to be granted a variance,yach applicant must be able to prove that an unnecessary hardship would be created if the variance is not granted. 'The burden of proving an unnecessary hardship resu upon the applicant. The attached sheet provides information on what constitutes a hardship. (Attach additional sheeu,if necessary,to provide the information requested. Additional information may be requested as needed.) 1.Explain your proposed plans and why you are requesting a variance: Plan proposes a 175 square foot handicapped accessible entrance/waitinq area addition to an existinq non-conforminq buildinQ. Work also includes handicapped accessible route, toilet room and code conforming parking, variance is requested because bids received exceed 50$ of the appraised value of the building ($23,675.00) . `: Bid $50,000.00. 2. Describe how the variance would not have an adverse effect on surrounding properties: Property affected is zoned C-1, immediately adjacent residential properties are owned by Harold Eichstadt. Transitional yards will be provided on west and north sides of property. South transitional yard would be 22'0" along t4urdock. Building would be conforming to C-1 were it not for transitional yards along Murdock and Vinland. 3. Describe the spccial conditions that apply to your lot or sroructure that do not apply to surrounding lou or structures: Pronerty east � of Lot 1302 is zoned C-1 with a residential usacre. This residential usaQe is imposinq a transitional yard alonQ the Vinland side of the 1302 Lot. All other lots are R-1 zonincr. ,. Lot 1302 has had business usac7e consistent with C-1 zoninq fo� approximate� 40 vears. ; '4. Descnbe the hardship that would result if your variance were not granted: xandicapped accessible and Qeneral �. u�qrades to the buildinQ are not possible because of the 50� rule and the buildinQ's low �prai G d Value.
