Planning and Zoning Manager Richard Lorber gave a PowerPoint presentation explaining the variance
request for this single-family home currently under construction in the RS-8000 zoning district. Mr.

request needed to meet. The applicant met the requirement of Article 625 of the Land Development Code
with respect to variance applications and Staff recommended approval of the requested variance. The
Planning and Zoning Manager called for questions and also said that the applicant was online. Jonathan
Thomas asked if the owner's large vehicles was the reason for the request. The representative, Monique
Grenon, answered that the owner of the property did have large vehicles and the driveway was too small.
Vice Chair Jones wanted to know the owner's type of vehicles. Ms. Grenon answered a Suburban or
Tahoe or something like that. As there were no further Board questions, the Chair asked for
questions/comments from the public. Patty Hart was sworn in by Assistant City Attorney Boutsis and
testified as to why she was in favor of this variance. There were no other questions/comments from either
the Board or the public, so the public hearing closed.

Vice Chair Jones. Motion passed S-0.
2. VA-095-21: The applicant and property owner, John Bartley, is requesting a variance to
permit a new. single-family home with a side street setback of ten (10') feet, where a
minimum of fifteen (15') feet is required; to permit a four (4') foot wide sidewallc along
S.E. 3 Ave., where five (5') feet is required; and to permit a twenty (20') foot wide
driveway curb cut where eighteen (18') is permitted, for property located at 238 S.E. 2nd
Terrace.
Planning and Zoning Manager Richard Lorber gave a PowerPoint presentation showing the location map
for the one single-family vacant lot located at 238 S.E. 2nd Terrace in the RS-6000 zoning district. The
proposal was to build a new single-family house requesting three variances and he explained all three.
Mr. Lorber showed the site plan of the lot with the proposed one-story CBS residence. He explained the
five criteria that the variance requests needed to meet. The applicant met the requirement of Article 625
of the Land Development Code with respect to variance applications and Staff recommended approval of
the requested variances. A letter of support from a nearby neighbor was included in the packet. The
Planning and Zoning Manager called for questions and also said that Patty Hart, representing the
applicant, was online. Chair Robertson wanted to confirm that the smaller 4' sidewalks were requested
because of the existing trees and the Planning and Zoning Manager did confirm. Vice Chair Jones wanted
to know what type of trees they were, maybe Pines, and Mr. Lorber did not think that they were
Australian Pines. However, they were City -owned, very mature, street trees. Vice Chair Jones was
concerned because of the trees' root system and we could be revisiting this again at some point in the
future. Mr. Lorber explained that the trees were in the right -of --way and it would need aright -of --way
permit in the future and what that entailed. Jonathan Thomas wanted to know if this home was for the
applicant or would it be up for sale. Patty Hart answered that the home was going to be for sale.
Assistant City Attorney Boutsis reminded that Patty Hart was previously sworn in earlier. As there were
no other Board questions and no one from the public wished to speak, the public hearing closed.
Motion was made by Jonathan Thomas to approve this agenda item (VA-095-21) and was seconded by
Charlotte Sloboda. Motion passed S-0.
