PLANNING REPORT
DATE: October 12, 1978
TO: City Manager, Don Ashworth
FROM: Assistant City Planner, Bob Waibel
SUBJ: Front Yard Variance Request and Side Yard Variance Request,
6596 Huron
APPLICANT: Bruce Stenerson
PLANNING CASE: P-587
Petition
Mr. Stenerson is proposing to construct a garage on the subject parcel
using a front yard setback of 10 feet and a side yard setback of 5
feet. zoning ordinance 47 requires that parcels in an R-1 district,
which is the present zoning of the parcel, utilize setbacks of 30
feet in the front and rear yards and 10 feet on side yards.
Background
1. Community Location: As shown in enclosure 1, the subject property
is located approximately 40 feet north of the intersection of West 66th
Street and Huron Ave.
2. Utilities: Sewer and water are presently available to the subject
property, and the property has been assessed one sewer and water trunk
unit as per the public improvement project 75-2.
Planner's Comments
1. As shown in enclosure 2, Mr. Stenerson is proposing to pia.c:e she
garage as proposed in order to use a portion of the present drive
for entrance into the garage, to have as least encroachment as possible
in the terraced flower bed area on the north side of the property,
and to avoid jeopardizing the Oak located in the west central portion
of the property.
2. The proposed egress would be off of what is known as Iroquois
Road which is a dedicated right of way as per the Carver Beach Plat.
It is my opinion that Iroquois at this point would have no reason
Mr. Don Ashworth -2- October 12, 1978
to be extended further to the north since it would only serve to draw
in traffic into an area with less than marginal circulation being
that Devil's Slide is the only direct egress from the general area and
Huron which has been designated as trail in the Carver Beach plan.
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals duly held a public hearing
concerning the subject proposal on October 3, 1978 and voted to accept
the proposal in order for the applicant to maintain the terraced flower
bed, the Oak tree previously mentioned, and the garden in the southern
part of the property.
3. I believe on this particular request that the existence of the
terraced flower bed is not paramount to the standards set by ordinance,
that the Oak tree will not be any more greatly dangered by repositioning
of the garage, that the garden area if built upon could be easily
transferable to the north portion of the property, and that there
is more than sufficient conforming buildable area fronting along
Iroquois.
Planner's Recommendation
I recommend that the city council require she applicant 'to maintain
the 30 foot front/rear yard setback along Iroquois, and a 10 foot
side yard from either the north or south property line.
