PETITIONER: DATE: Community Development Memo To: Board of Adjustment From: Bob Joseph Date: November 20, 1998 Re: setback variance request 1560 Big Thompson Ave. (Grumpy Gringo) The applicant is requesting a variance from the 25ft. street setback and the 15ft. sideline setback requirements. The request is to reduce both setbacks down to 10ft. It appears that there are a number of workable alternatives for locating the proposed storage building on lot 34 that would not require a variance. These alternatives should be given careful consideration prior to requesting a variance. The applicant also has another option that would easily solve the problem of locating the storage building without a variance. The applicant owns the vacant lot adjacent to the south ( lot 35 ). The lots could be combined, eliminating the lot line and the associated setbacks that now divide the property. Or, the south line of lot 34 could be moved south providing ample room to site the proposed storage building without a variance. This lot line could, for example, be moved 10ft. to 12ft. south along the length of the line. This would still leave lot 35 with 40,000 s.f. which is the minimum lot area required to retain all of the potential uses now possible on that lot. Both of the options described above would have the added advantage of moving the property closer to conformance with the current zoning standards relating to Building Bulk (17.20.060) and Impervious Coverage (17.20.070) and would provide additional space for detention of storm runoff. Staff Recommendation: The applicant has not established the exceptional circumstances and associated exceptional and undue hardship that the municipal code requires as a basis for granting a variance (section 17.36.010.d.1.b). Therefore the request should be denied. • Page 1 STATEMENT OF INTENT This request is to allow for the construction of a 30' by 40' storage unit 10' from the west property line and 10' from the south property line of lot 34 Grand Estates Subdivision. With no storage for supplies and equipment available inside the restaurant, an external storage unit is the only viable solution given the current parking and building access constraints. Confoiiiiing to the established C-O Outlying commercial setbacks for the construction of the storage unit will prohibit ingress and egress by service and supply delivery trucks to the service delivery area. Turning radius minimums necessary for the vehicles of many suppliers will require the storage unit to be located as proposed. In addition, without a variance available parking will have to be reduced. Because of the westerly orientation of the properties to the west, allowing the variance will produce minimal impact in the neighborhood. This minimal impact will be further reduced by the proposed landscaping to the west of the proposed storage unit. Monte Douse - Partner Casa Casa LLC
