Terry Street Eugene, Or. 97402 DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTED MODIFICATION The applicant is requesting a Modifications of Provisions in order to change the side yard setback from 5 feet to 4 feet for the side (west) property line. APPLICABLE CRITERIA The Springfield Development Code: -Article 16, Residential Zoning Districts -Article 11, Variances and Modifications of Provisions Eugene.Springfield Metro Area General Plan Q Street Refinement ?ien * . - ...<;.. . . Page 2 Jo. No. 92-04-72 DECISION Denial OTHER USES AUTHORIZED BY THIS LETTER None. LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY The property is located at 612 Lochaven Avenue (Assessor's Map number 17-03-27-13, Tax lot 1800). The parcel is located within the City limits. BACKGROUND/ SITE INFORMATION The property is zoned Low Density Residential and is designated for Low Density Residential Use in the Metro Plan. The Q Street Refinement Plan, adopted in 1987, applies to this property. The parcel is located within the Lochaven Subdivison among lots developed with manufactured homes. The subject property is developed with a 26' X 40' manufactured home, 10' X 7' shed, and a 25' X 12' aluminum carport. A 12' paved driveway extends under the carport adjacent to the home. The home and shed meet the minimum setback requirements, however, the carport support posts were installed approximately 3 feet (37.38 inches) from the side property line. Carports in residential districts are required to meet a 5 foot sideyard setback on interior lots. The carport awning protrudes 2 feet into the setback. The Development Code allows architectural extensions to protrude into any 5 foot setback by not more than 2 feet. Thus, the awning meets this requirement. The lot contains approximately 6,000 square feet and has approximately 60' of frontage on Lochaven Avenue. The lot meets all other required lot standards for setbacks, frontage and lot coverage. Structures on the abutting parcel to the west (17-03-27-24, Tax Lot 6900) meet all setback requirements. Criteria of Approval for Modification of Provisions (ref Section 11.030 Modification of Provisions of the Springfield Development Code (SDC). (1) Modification of Provisions. The Director may adjust any quantitative standard of this Code involving up to a 20 percent reduction or increase provided that: (a) Locational or dimensional problems have been identified; and (b) The proposed adjustment is the minimum/maximum necessary to alleviate the identified dimensional or locational problem; and (c) There are no adverse affects on neighboring properties; and (d) Public safety will not be compromised. '-.... . . . Page 3 Jo. No. 92-04-72 This decision is based on findings in response to these criteria as follows; (a) Locational or dimensional problems have been identified; The support posts are currently set at 37-38 inches from the side property line. The applicant is requesting a modification of provisions in order to relocate the posts to a 4 foot setback instead of the required 5 foot setback. This request is approximately a 20% reduction to code standards. (b) The proposed adjustment is the minimum! maximum necessary to alleviate the identified dimensional or locational problem; and The supports are currently placed at the westerly edge of the driveway (approximately 3 feet from the property line). The driveway extends 12 feet across the property. If the posts were moved 2 feet to the east in order to comply with the required 5 foot setback, this area would still remain fully functional for a standard 10 foot-wide carport. No alterations to other structures would be necessary to allow full use of this area. The applicant was aware of the setback requirements prior to installing the carposts (ref. Building Permit #910710). Staff finds no modificiation to the code is necessary to alleviate the dimensional/locational setback problem associated with the placement of the support posts. (c) There are no adverse effects on the neighboring property. Setback requirements are intended to provide aesthetic development standards for separation between structures. Even though structures on the affected property to the west meet the setback requirements, the carport is located entirely on the subject lot and does not interfere with residential uses on the neighboring property. Locating the support posts at the requested setback will not interfere with vision clearance areas or fire supression activities. Staff finds the decreased setback would have minimal adverse effect on the neighboring property. (d) ,Public Safety will not be compromised. The setback affects private property only and does not impact public safety or public property. SUMMARY A Modification of Provisions is intended to grant exceptions to code requirements when a hardship is caused by unusual circumstances. In order to obtain approval, the applicant must demonstrate all four (4) of the required criteria have been met. The applicant has satisfied (al. (cl. and (d). Criterion (b) states that "the proposed adjustment is the minimum necessary to alleviate the identified dimensional or locational problem." If the 5 foot required setback is adhered to, the area would still be fully usable for a 10 foot carport and would not require alterations to any other structures. It is staff's finding that the applicant has not demonstrated that the proposed adjustment is the minimum necessary to alleviate the dimensional problem. Therefore, this application is DENIED. ,J .---;.. . . Page 4 Jo. No. 92-04-72 CONCLUSION 1. The applicant shall move the carport supports to meet the required 5 foot setback within 30 days from the date this decision is mailed. 2. The supports shall be placed in conformance with the Springfield Building Code requirements. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The application, ali documents and evidence relied upon by the applicant and the applicable criteria of approval are available for a free inspection and copies will be available at a cost of $0.75 for the first page and $0.25 for each additional page at the Development Services Department, 225 Fifth Street, Springfield, Oregon.
