HomeMy WebLinkAboutVARIANCE 170 Boyd Ln Statement of Intent 2011-04-26Statement of Intent April 26,2011 To:Estes Valley Board of Variance From:Cydney Springer,170 Boyd Lane,Estes Park,CO Subject:Cydney Springer’s request for building side yard set-back variance for an all purpose shed to be located at 170 Boyd Lane. Requested Set Back Variance:Current Development Code calls for a side yard building set-back of 10 feet.Applicant is requesting a side yard set-back of 5.5 from the westerly boundary for the construction of a l6ft by l2ft all-purpose shed. Rational of requested set-back: Due to the size of the subject lot coupled with the narrow lot width,the requested set back is needed in order to minimize the impact of the proposed shed on the existing structures located on the subject lot as well as minimizing the impact on the current parking area.With the requested set back,the overall character of the subject property will remain as currently exists.Review of the general neighborhood would indicate the granting of the requested set-back variance would provide for a set-back which is common for the neighborhood and that strict compliance with the Development Codes standards does create practical difficulty in utilizing the subject property as noted above. With the review of the elements for determining the practical difficulty of following a strict interpretation of the Estes Valley Development Code,the following observations are made by the Applicant: 1.The requested variance is a minimal exception to current Development Code; 2.The essential character of the neighborhood would not be substantially altered; 3.The adjoining property owners would not be substantially impacted; 4.The delivery of public services would r be negatively impacted; 5.When the applicant purchased the property,the building set-back requirements were known but at the time of purchase,construction of the proposed shed had not been anticipated.
