TRACT 3. BEAVER POINT. FIRST ADDITION. 510 MORAINE AVE.. LORETTA JEFFREY/APPLICANT -- REQUEST FOR SETBACK VARIANCE AND TO ALTER A NON-CONFORMING BUILDING. Applicant is seeking a variance from Section 17.20.040, B.l.b. of the Municipal Code which requires a 15 ft. setback from the side property line in the C-0 zoning district. Building Official Allman explained that the addition would be to the southwest of the current building, and that the site is landscaped. Staff recommended approval of the addition with the understanding that mature trees and landscaping be preserved. Member Sager reported on his contact with the Applicant when he visited the site, at which time he discovered the Applicant was unaware of the current proposal to the Board. Applicant's representative Ricki Ingersoll apologized for the confusion, and stated the Applicant was aware of the proposal. To avoid the cost of a second request to the Board of Adjustment, Ingersoll requested the Board give approval for all planned work, even though the house addition may not begin until Spring 1995. Chairman Doylen reminded the Board that all variances granted will be null and void if a building permit has not been issued and work commenced within four months from the date of the granting of the variance. Building Official Allman explained that if footings and foundation are started within four months, the addition would be considered under construction. Member Sager questioned the ability to request a variance without knowing the final configuration. Director Stamey verified that Applicant is requesting a variance to alter a non- conforming building and a setback variance for the proposed covered patios. As owner of the adjacent lot, Ricki Ingersoll reported that the condominium bordering the building at 510 Moraine Avenue was purposely placed away from that building and the lot line to allow for a buffer and landscaping, and that the remodel of the building will enhance the neighborhood. It was moved and seconded (Sager-Newsom) that the additions and changes to the existing non­ conforming building on Tract 3, Beaver Point, First Addition, 510 Moraine Avenue, be approved provided that all new construction meet the 15 ft. setback requirement, and it passed unanimously. There being no further business. Chairman Doylen adjourned the meeting at 8:28 a.m. Tina Kuehl, Deputy Town Clerk
