SUBJECT: Consider a request for a variance to the minimum side yard
building setback from 5' to 2.5'
FILE: 594-BA
STAFF REPORT
Gary Watson, dba G. Watson Racing, has applied for a variance to the
minimum side yard building setback from 5' to 2.5'. The property is
located at 4210 College Street.
Mr. Watson states that a building permit was granted for a new shop
building on the northeast corner of his property. The permit was
approved with a 5' side building setback. However, when the city
inspector made an inspection of the foundation framing, he found that
the foundation was within 2.5' of the property line.
Mr. Watson states that the reason for this encroachment is that the
side property lines are not parallel. About mid-point, the lot begins
to narrow as the east property line leans towards the northwest.
Apparently, the contractor was not aware of this and laid the
foundation forms incorrectly.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
