The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains approximately 0.35 acres. The request is for a variance of the 25 foot east setback to incorporate the roof overhang of the structure. Committee Discussion Vinson: What has happened is the roof overhangs into the easement by a few inches. They need to get a variance for the part of the overhang that is in the setback. Perkins: Is that the northeast comer of the garage? It's not the entire -- Vinson: No. It is not the entire face of the garage. Conklin: If you look at the survey, it shows how much of the overhang is encroaching into the setback. Staff does recommend approval. Removing that section of the overhang would not improve the looks of the house. It doesn't harm anybody. Public Comment None MOTION Mr. Nickle made a motion to approve BA99-4. Mr. Hanna seconded the motion.

The property is zoned R -O, Residential Office, and contains approximately 0.13 acres. Reconsideration of the condition of approval to build sidewalks along Rollston Avenue and Campbell Avenue. Committee Discussion Conklin: I bring this back to the Board of Adjustment to talk about the condition of approval for sidewalk along Rollston which was placed on the variance. After that meeting, the Sidewalk and Trails Coordinator was contacted by the applicant and they went out there and looked at it. The Coordinator recommended for no sidewalk Because that was a condition of approval, I asked that they come back before you. I feel more comfortable with this Board removing that condition. We do support the sidewalk waiver request. Orton: Isn't there already a sidewalk down one side of the street? Conklin: There are sidewalks on both Campbell and Rollston on opposite sides of this lot. Perkins: That was for a residence? Conklin: They are going to the Planning Commission on May 10 for a shared parking agreement with UBC. We have also signed off on a building permit for an office They have agreed to put the screening in between the commercial and residential uses. They have redesigned the bathroom and built the ADA ramp from the back to the front of the house. Public Comment None MOTION Ms. Orton made a motion to removed the sidewalk condition of approval for BA99-3. Mr. Nickle seconded the motion. Roll Call Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 4-0-0.
