Home My WebLink AboutBoard of Appeals (staff report) - 11/10/1999 � STAFF REPORT BOARD OF APPEALS • NOVEMBER 10, 1999 ITEM V: 1302 W. 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 reyuested 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 additional9' 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 --.- , ."'° �'`� :�"„ `; -� =-." -�' Remrn to:Depamnent of � ' .

'The burden of proving an unnecessary hardship resu upon the applicant. The attached sheet provides information on a�hat constitutes a hardship. (Attach additional sheeu,if necessary,to provide the information requested. Additional information may be requested as needed.) l.Explain your proposed plans and why you are requesting a variance: Plan proposes a 175 square foot handicapped accessible entrance/waitincl area addition to an existinq non-conforminq buildincr. 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 �roperty. 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 special conditions that apply to your lot or suvctwe that do not apply to surrounding lou or structures: property east � of Lot 1302 is zoned C-1 with a residential usaqe. This residential usaQe is imposing a transitional yard along the Vinland side of the 1302 Lot. All other lots are R-1 zoninQ. ,. Lot 1302 has had business usage consistent with C-1 zoninci for approximate� 40 vears. � '4. Describe the hazdship that would result if your variance were not granted: Handicapped accessible and Qeneral � upqrades to the buildinq are not possible because of the 50� rule and the buildinQ's low apUraised value.
