Variance Request 1401 E 3rd St C15-2022-0061 The Board of Adjustment November 14, 2022 Item __ Alecia Mosadomi (Husch Blackwell LLP) ITEM6/1-PRESENTATION Overview Seeking to replace the existing structure with a single-family residence and accessory dwelling unit. ITEM6/2-PRESENTATION Requested Variance To reduce the minimum street side yard setback from 15’ to 10’. ITEM6/3-PRESENTATION ITEM6/4-PRESENTATION ITEM6/5-PRESENTATION ITEM6/6-PRESENTATION ITEM6/7-PRESENTATION The Zoning Regulations Do Not Allow for a Reasonable Use because: They only permit a structure approximately 15’ wide and 32% buildable area. ITEM6/8-PRESENTATION The Hardship is Unique to the Property because: It results from the property being a substandard lot that is only 35’ wide located on a corner lot subject to a 15’ street side yard setback. ITEM6/9-PRESENTATION The Hardship is not General to the Area because: Other lots in the area have the ability to achieve the 40% building coverage allowable by the zoning regulations. ITEM6/10-PRESENTATION Approval Would Not Alter Area Character because: It is not uncommon for structures to be placed in setbacks in this neighborhood. The additional width allows a design that is architecturally appealing and blends in with the area character.

Variance Request 2311 Lafayette Avenue C15-2022-0071 The Board of Adjustment November 14, 2022 Micah King Husch Blackwell LLP ITEM8/1-PRESENTATION Purpose To facilitate the replacement of an existing, non-complying secondary unit with a safe, modern new house (including elimination of the existing setback encroachments) and the preservation of the front house, which was constructed in 1948, which contributes to the neighborhood’s character. The new rear unit would become the main house, and the existing front structure would become the secondary unit. 2 ITEM8/2-PRESENTATION Map of Property Location 3 ITEM8/3-PRESENTATION Map of Area Zoning 4 ITEM8/4-PRESENTATION The Front House (To be Preserved) 5 ITEM8/5-PRESENTATION The Rear House (To be Replaced) 6 ITEM8/6-PRESENTATION Requested Variances From LDC § 25-2-774(C)(2)(a), to change the requirement that the second dwelling unit must be located at least 10 feet to the rear or side of the principal structure (required) to have the second dwelling unit be in front of the principal structure (requested); and From LDC § 25-2-774(C)(5)(b), to increase the maximum size of the second dwelling unit (proposed to be the front house) from the lesser of 1,100 sq. ft. or 0.15 FAR (required) (which equates to 901.5 sq. ft.) to 948 sq. ft. (requested). 7 ITEM8/7-PRESENTATION 8 ITEM8/8-PRESENTATION Photo of Tree with Front House on Left 9 ITEM8/9-PRESENTATION Photo of Rear Unit on Left 10 ITEM8/10-PRESENTATION Photo of Multi-Family Building to the Rear 11 ITEM8/11-PRESENTATION The Regulations Do Not Allow for a Reasonable Use The regulations unreasonably constrain the ability of the owner to have adequate housing to meet their long-term needs without demolishing and replacing the existing 948-square-feet front house, which was constructed in 1948, or altering it in such a way as to negatively impact the area character, and the rear unit is a noncomplying structure that violates side and rear yard setback requirements and forcing the owner to be stuck with the rear unit is unreasonable given its state and noncomplying status and keeping it as-is would not address the need for more housing space. 12 ITEM8/12-PRESENTATION The Hardship is Unique to the Property The hardship is unique to the property because it has two small, old structures that are both noncomplying, a 3-story multifamily building is immediately to the rear of the property, and options for where to provide safe, adequate, new housing that will help the owner remain in place are constrained by the narrow width of the …
