VARIANCE 95-22 - ROBERT JAMES
329 W. SOUTH STREET
•
The only item on the agenda was the request for a 13 feet variance submitted by Robert James for property located
at 329 W. South Street. The request is for a variance from the required building setbacks in R -O, Residential
Office.
Staff recommended approval of the variance from front setback subject to the following:
1. Construction should begin on the addition within one year of the granting of the variance
and any changes to the proposed addition be reviewed by staff prior to the
initiation of construction.
2. Alignment of the addition to the building so that it does not extend past the front
of the existing structure.
Ms. Little stated the front setback in R -O was 30 feet. She stated they proposed a 300 square foot building addition
but the structure is two story which would add 600 square feet to the current structure which is 1200 square feet.
Ms. Little presented a model of the proposed project.
Ms. Little stated staff had not agreed to the type of material to be used in construction. She stated the existing
structure was native stone which would be hard to match or compliment.
Mr. Nickle inquired if the proposed addition would block the driveway to the back parking and Mr. James stated
they would maintain the drive. Ms. Little stated the driveway was not the alley along the west property line.
