OTHER USES AUTHORIZED BY THIS LETTER
None.
LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY
The property is located at 630 Scotts Glenn (Assessor's Map number 17-03-27-24, Tax lot
4300). 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 2 feet (25 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 3 feet into the setback. The Development Code allows architectural
extensions to protrude into any 5 foot setback by not more than l feet.
The lot contains approximately 6,000 square feet and has approximately 60' of frontage on
Scotts Glenn Drive, 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 4400)
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.

Jo. No. 92-04-71
This decision is based on findings in response to these criteria as follows:
(a) Locational or dimensional problems have been identified;
The applicant is requesting a 20% reduction of the standard for a side yard setback in order
to relocate the supports to a 4 foot side yard setback. The applicant (a manufactured home
installer) states that two problems occurred when installing the home: (1) The manufacturer
built the home 7 inches longer than specified, and (2) The foundation was poured 5 inches
closer to the property line than the plot plan stated. According to the applicant, if the support
posts were moved to the 5 foot setback line, the carport would not have an adequate vehicle
clearance area. Additionally, the stairs located outside the side door entry would need to be
removed, limiting access to the home to the front entrance only.
(b) The proposed adjustment is the minimum I maximum necessary to alleviate the
identified dimensional or locational problem; and
The supports are currently placed at the westerly edge of the driveway (2 feet from the
property line). The driveway extends 12 feet across the property. If the posts were moved
3 feet to the east in order to comply with the required 5 foot setback, this area could not be
fully used as a carport because the usable pavement width would only be 9 feet (standard
carport width is 10 feet). In order to accomodate a standard carport, the stairs adjacent to
the home would need to be removed or relocated. At a 4 foot setback, the carport will be
fully useable and other structures would not need to be altered. However, in order to meet
the architectural extension setback requirement, the carport awning must be reduced by 1
foot.
(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.
DECISION
The requested Modification of Provisions is found to be consistent with the criteria of Section
11 .030( 1) of the Springfield Development Code and is hereby approved with the following
conditions:
.
