PUBLIC HEARING
A.
PZ-23-00085:
A request by David and Kelly Yingling, for a Zoning Code Variance from Section 10-40.30.030 (Residential Zones), specifically Table C. (Building Form and Property Development Standards). The applicant is requesting a variance from the applicable interior side setback to enable the construction of a new single-family residence closer to the interior side setback than would otherwise be allowed by the Zoning Code. The property is located at 5112 E Cottonwood Drive (APN 106-07-032).
Zoning Code Manager, Tiffany Antol presented the variance request.
Board Member Harris asked if any previous permits had been issued on the property, if there was an existing septic tank and if it was possible to grant a similar variance on the other side of the property.
Staff responded that a permit review of the property had not been completed, that there was not an existing septic tank, and that it was not possible to grant additional variances.
Board Member Westover asked if notice was provided about this application to surrounding properties and where a septic tank is proposed on site.
Staff responded that the legal notification requirements had been met (letters, signage, and newspaper ad) and that the septic tank would be located adjacent to the proposed home, but the leach field would be located below the home.
Chair Babbott asked if there was a process the applicant could go through to relocate the existing Forest Service Road within the easement boundaries.
Staff responded that there is but that it may be a difficult, time-consuming process that would interfere with the applicant's development plans.
Board Member Harris asked if this item would be forward to City Council.
Staff responded that this is the final decision on the application unless appealed to Superior Court.
