BOA 10-3690 (919 N. LINDELL / VEGA & KITZ, 444): Submitted by JOEL HERSH
for property located at 919 N. LINDELL AVENUE. The property is zoned RMF -40,
MULTI FAMILY - 40 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 0.16 acres. The
request is for a reduced side setback to allow a covered, open side wood shed.
Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the staff report.
Board Member Kohler discussed that this seemed to be a reasonable request. He asked
about the timing of the construction of the shed and the building permit.
Dan Vega, applicant, discussed that he assumed that he could replace the shed. The
permit was applied for after he received the violation letter.
Board Member Kohler asked about the potential to widen Hughes street.
Garner discussed that Hughes Street may need to be widened at some point in the future.
In order to permit the shed to remain in the right-of-way City Council approval would be
required.
Public Comment:
Peggy Andrews stated that 90 days would not allow Mr. Vega to have a wood shed
before the cold weather sets in.
No more public comment was presented.
Board Member Kohler clarified that the 90 days was the time given to Mr. Vega to
obtain a building permit for the shed.
Motion:
Board Member Alt made a motion to approve the request with revisions to the
conditions of approval to read as follows:
1. The requested variance shall apply only to a maximum 20' x 8' structure, up to
the zero -foot setback/front property line along Hughes Street.
2. Within 90 days from the Board of Adjustment approval, a building permit shall be
obtained for the structure. All applicable fees shall be paid and all required
inspections are required in accordance with building code.
Board Member Knight seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion passed with a
vote of 5-0-0.
