Case#2: Request for a Variance to the Side Yard and Septic 'System Setback Requirements; Case of John and Kathleen Dehen Chairperson Nixt closed the regular portion of the B~ard of Adjustment meeting at 7:05 p.m. in order to conduct the public hearing. Public Hearin~ Chairperson Nixt called the public hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. Presentation Community Development Director Frolik stated that John and Kathleen Dehen have applied for a variance to encroach the side yard setback in order to construct a new attached garage and a variance to the minimum separation between a septic tank and building in order to replace their non-conforming system on the property located at 14806 Bowers Drive NW. The Dehen's would like to remodel their home to convert their existing attached garage into a family room, expand their front foyer, raze the detached, single car garage and add a new attached garage. They have a very narrow lot on Bowers Drive with a sharp increase in topography on the north and sharp decline in topography on the south. The haW attached garage would encroach on the adjacent parcel to the north, 4 feet at the most intense point of encroachment. The neighbors (Millers) are willing to sell the Dehen's, through an administrative subdivision approved at the City Staff level, the portion of property necessary to facilitate the encroachment. However, the Millers only want to sell the Dehen's the minimum amount of property necessary to facilitate the footprint of the garage; they are not willing to sell the Dehen's additional property to provide for Board of Adjustment/June 5, 200.1 Page 3 of 11 -13-
