Re: Variance to build garage/storage on bluff
We are requesting a variance to build on what is considered by Ordinance
a bluff area, listed below are the issues concerning the property and why we
feci this is the best possible place to locate the structure,
Background Information: [n 1997 we wanted to divided the 5 acres we owned into two.. 2.5 acre
lots as permitted by the city, the original plan was to divide the 5 acres north and south with a
common driveway com ing in ofT of Audubon at the south end of the property, which would have
allowed Ilat area's for both lots. The city asked us to change the plotting of the 5 acres to run east
and west which is what we did. Now that leaves us with 2.5 acres almost entirely on what is
considered a bluff
Our property is zoned RR, Rural Residential. We own 2.5 acres this acreage is surrounded on 3
sides by other property owners and Audubon Road, 90% of the property is on a hill. Our
ncighbors to the south and west also have 2,5 acre lots, the house to the north we believe is an
acre lot. We believe there is only two other area's on our property that may not be considered
blulTarea's however there isn't access to those area's without crossing through someone else's
property to get to it. We are asking for a variance to place a garage with storage just south of our
existing driveway.
We do not believe the properties in our same zone have the same issues we have.
The purpose of the variance is to be able to use with reasonable expectation some ofthe 2.5
acreage that we own, i.e. out buildings, garages and other structure are within the limitations of
the zoning in our area.
Our hardship is created by the unique percentage of the property that is located on the bluff.
We want to build this structure to store pool equipment and out door furniture that is
currently being stored behind our house under tarps in the winter, which is directly
below the hill fì'om our neighbors to the north. We believe they would rather not view the tarps,
the new structures would not be in view of their home at all. The neighbors to the south are Üll'
below the structure. The structure would not block or obstruct views from
any of the neighbors.
The structure docs not impair any air flow, light source to other property owners. It does
not add congestion to the street and it is not a fire danger or public safety issue.
In closing, we do not believe the structure has any impact on our neighbors except to
enclose what we already have stored in the back yard. It does not impact the hill, we did not take
down any trees or create an erosion area. Due to the large tree next to the driveway on Audubon
we do not believe anyone will see the garage from Audubon. We believe with our 2,5 acres it is
with reasonable expectation to be able to build a structure that we can access.
