Richard Harper came forward, was sworn in and stated that he i s representing the owner of the property. He gave the history of this home and the driveway which is all in place and has been for some time. Mrs. Kee said the variance request wou ld be for 5 ft. into the side setback requirements and 17 ft. into the rear setback r equirements . Mr. Mac- Gilvray spoke of other possible solutions to the placement of thi s carport and Mr. Harper pointed out that the poles would be in the middle of the driveway into the carport as the building code requir es pole placement every so many feet for meeting windload requirements. Jack Perryman was swo rn in and identified himself as a neighbor on Lee Street, said he had grow n up in the area and requested that this variance be granted and that he had no object- tions to the carport. Mr. Wagner pointed out that there is school-owned and used property across Timber and asked whether anyone knew if this wo uld ever be used as R-1 Sin gle Family Residential use ~ga in to which Mrs. Bought on indicated that this land had been donated to the school district by citizens and she doubted if they could se ll it, therefore it would probab ly always be used as part of th e operation of the school district. Board discussion fol l owed concerning any possible uniqu e and special conditions which might include the lots in th i s area going through from one street to anothe r, the existing structure being in the middle of 2 lots and the school property across the street wh ich is being used for other ~an residential use. Mr. MacGilvray asked to be shown why the carport co uld not be located in another spot and Mr. Harper came forward and showed the max i mum clearspan allowable. Mr. MacGilvray pointed out that up to 200 ft. can be spanned, and Mr. Harper said the applicant cannot afford that type of steelwork . Mr. Upham exp lain ed that it is the Board's obligation to exp lor e r ZBA Minutes 4-19-83 page 5 all areas and Mr. Lindsay further explained the obligations imposed by law that the Board can only grant variances where owing to unique and special conditions of the land not normally found in li ke districts a strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance by the Zoning Official would result in unnecessary hardship, as well as not being contrary to the public int erest . Mr, MacGilvray explained that the hardships cannot be self-imposed or financial only in nature. Mr . Wagn er made a mo tion to authorize a variance to th e m1n1mum side and rear setback (Table A) at 115 Lee Street from the terms of this ordinance as it w ill not be contrary to th e public int erest, due to the fol lowing unique and specia l conditions of the land not normally found in like districts: (l) the house is on 2 lots with public streets at both ends; (2) the area is in an older or nearly special historic district in the City; (3) the existing we ll-d esigned driveway with said carport wo uld give max i mum unobstrusive use of the drive without detracting from the visual aspects which now exist and because a strict enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship, and such that the spirit of this ordinance shall be observed and substa ntial justice done and with the fo llowing specia l conditions: to ~it, the 5 ft. side and 17 ft. rear setback varianc e . Mr. Lindsay seconded for purposes of discussion only, and then stated that in his opinion the asthetics condition should not be included in the motion . Mr. MacGilvray & Mr. Upham agreed. Mr. Wagner then amended his motion to r ead as follows: "I move to authorize a variance to the minimum side and rear setback (Tabl e A) from the terms of this ordinance as it w ill not be contrary to the public interest, due to the fo l lowing unique and spec ial conditions of the land not normally found in like districts: (1) the house is on 2 lots with public streets at both ends, (2) the existing structures and u ses of property surro unding these lots and (3) the carport as designed makes eff ic ient a nd more use of the existing drive- way, and because a str ict e nforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would resu lt in unnecessary hardship, and s uch that the spirit of this ordina nc e shall be observed and substantial justice done, and with the following cond iti ons : to wit , the 5 ft. side and 17 ft . rear setback variance.
