VARIANCE BA95-23 - MIKE THOMAS/JULIE GABLE
KURT KULISH - 106 N OLIVE AVENUE
The only item on the agenda was a request for a variance from building set backs submitted by Kurt Kulish on
behalf of Mike Thomas and Julie Gable for property located at 106 N. Olive Avenue and zoned R-2, Medium
Density Residential. The request is for a 17' setback (an 8' variance) on the west side of the property. The applicant
proposed to remove an existing non -conforming brick and block porch on the west side of the house and replace it
with a wood deck.
Staff recommended for approval of some variance due to the lot being elevated above the street and required the
two existing maple trees to be preserved.
Ms. Little stated she had received a phone call from Ms. Elizabeth Ellis property owner of the house to the north
which serves as rental property. Ms. Ellis expressed concern regarding the probability of street expansion and Ms.
Little stated she had told Ms. Ellis the probability was low due to grade.
Mr. Kulish stated the proposed deck would not extend further than one feet beyond the deck on adjoining property
and he stated the request was to replace the structure which was removed He stated the reasons for reconstructing
the deck were due to safety issues with ingress and egress and water leakage problems.
Mr. Thomas presented pictures of the subject structure and surrounding properties.
Discussion ensued regarding street widening and deck construction options.
MOTION
Mr. Rivaldo made a motion to approve the variance as requested subject to staff comments.
Mr. Nickle seconded the motion.
Upon roll call, the motion passed with a unanimous vote of 7-0-0.
