221 LOTT STREET, LOT 32, FIRST RESUBPTVISIQN. BUENNA VISTA
TF.RBACE, OWNER: CYNTHIA SISSON SPAT SBIIRY. APPLICANT: CLARK
SPALSBURY - VARIANCE REQUEST FROM SECTION 17.20.040(B) (11 a. OF THE
MTJNTCTPAL CODE. Applicants’ request includes the following. 1) \^en plans were
made to build an addition, the setbacks were 15', and have since been chanced to 25'.
Therefore, they would like to request a variance which would permit them to build an
addition in conformance with the prior zoning and consistent with other uses in the
neighborhood. 2) Subject to approval of the variance, they would like to proceed to build
on the north side of their present garage, and move a small, existing, metal shed to another
portion of the lot, not closer than 15' to any lot line.
Chairman Pauley asked if the drawing is the proposed plan or what already exists. Clark
Spalsbury stated that the drawing represents what already exists. Chairman Pauley
questioned whether Mr. Spalsbury would be willing to move the shed within the original 15'
setback and Mr. Spalsbury agreed.
Jeff Barker wants the record to reflect that Mr. Clark Spalsbury originally expressed
opposition against the rezoning of his own property.
A1 Sager noted there is a considerable flat area on Mr. Spalsbury’s property and wants to
know why Mr. Spalsbury doesn’t build the addition there.
Mr. Spalsbury stated that his preference is privacy, and by building on the north end of their
home it would be more convenient and private. He also states that they have been using the
south side for gardening and for providing extra sunlight and warmth into their bedroom.
A1 Sager questioned the home office in E-Estate. Director Stamey stated that the Board of
Adjustment is considering a building setback variance and that any home office is subject
to the Town’s Home Occupation regulations. Mr. Spalsbiuy stated he does some work at
home, and client contact from home is primarily by phone.
A1 Sager wanted to know why the plat did not show topography and rock outcropping views.
Mr. Spalsbury stated he didn’t feel it was important because the variance requested was due
to set backs in relation to prior zoning, and not topography.

A1 Sager asked if there was any correspondence. Director Stamey advised there was not.
Director Stamey reviewed the staff report and provided a staff recommendation as follows:
1. Approval of the variance request to allow the building addition onto the existing
garage, with a 15' setback from the street property line, and as illustrated on the
Improvement Survey Plat.
2. As part of the variance approval and construction, the metal shed be relocated on the
site, to a location not closer than 15' to any lot line.
It was moved and seconded (Sager/Newsom) to approve the variance request for a 15
setback, with the conditions as noted, and that the addition not be more than 30' high,
with no further adjustments, and it passed unanimously. Mr. Spalsbury stated he is not
requesting any height variance, and will conform with the height lunits.
