PROJECT NARRATIVE
836 S 70TH, LLC
MINOR VARIANCE
Branch Engineering Inc. Project No. 21-287
As part of a subdivision application, the applicant is requesting a Minor Variance
for the subdivision lots' area and density. Due to being in the Hillside Development
Overlay Zone by being above 670 -feet in elevation and having slopes less than 15%, Table
3.3-1 SDC 3.3-520 states that each lot must be 10,000 square feet minimum with at least
60 -feet of frontage. To conform to the minor variance standards the applicant is
requesting a variance of up to 27% in lot area. The map provided in the application
depicts each lot varying between 7,300 and 7,600 square feet. This decrease in lot size
moves the subdivision closer to minimum density requirements in the LDR Zone from
4du/acre to Sdu/acre. The reduction in lot size will not adversely impact stormwater
drainage patterns as the maximum lot coverage of the Hillside Development Overlay
Zone is 35%. 8 Lots at an average lot size of 7,450 square feet has a maximum total lot
coverage of 20,860 square feet; without the variance, 5 Lois at an average lot size of
11,920 square feet also has a maximum total lot coverage of 20,860 square feet. In the
stormwater report submitted with this application, the maximum lot coverage is
considered when developing the downstream analysis. Below is an explanation of how
this variance complies with SDC 5.21-125D:
1. Locational or dimensional problems have been identified that can be resolved
by a Minor Variance.
The area reduction will permit the site to more closely achieve density
requirements within the LDR zone. After roadway dedication, the remaining
buildable land is 1.37 acres. Density requires a minimum of 6 dwelling units per
net acre. This requires a minimum of 9 dwelling units for this property. Should
the applicant not request this minor variance, the maximum the site could achieve
is 6 dwelling units. With the requested variance, the site is capable of 8 dwelling
units.
2. The request is the minimum necessary to alleviate the identified dimensional
or locational problem.
The Minor Variance is asking for a 27% reduction in minimum lot area within the
subdivision. Less than 27% would cause the need to remove a lot, and move the
site further from minimum density requirements.

3. Where applicable, the request shall result in the preservation of on-site trees
S-inch-dbh and above.
Most of the trees on site are greater than 12-inch-dbh. There are trees that will
need to be removed to accommodate the road dedication through the center of
the site. In order to allow buildable area on the lots, twelve additional trees will
also need to be removed. Due to the location and critical root zone of these trees,
they would need removal even with standard 10,000 square foot lots. Therefore,
the requested variance does not alter the number of trees retained onsite.
4. The request shall not impede adequate emergency access to the site.
The lot size has no impact on emergency access to and through the site. The
roadway dedication allows for a second access route to houses on and off the site.
5. The request shall not unreasonably impact public or private easements.
There are no known existing public or private easements on or adjacent to the
site to be impacted by lot size. The proposed public utility and slope easements
adjacent to the proposed right-of-way dedication lie wholly within the required
building setbacks per SDC 3.2-515. The requested variance does not alter the
location of the setbacks or easements.
6. The request shall not unreasonably limit solar access standards for abutting
properties. In order to meet this criterion, the Director may require that the
building or structure be place as close to the south property line as possible.
Due to the location of the roadway dedication, solar access standards would be
the same for all lots regardless of lot size.
