The site plan submitted reveals that there are several constraints on the property restricting the applicants from placing the accessory structure in such a manner that it is not nearer the front property line than the principal structure. On the south side of the principal structure, the property slopes steeply down toward 149t~ Avenue. The well is located to the east of the principal structure (rear yard). The northeastern portion of the property contains the septic tank and drain field. The Fossums were hoping to conserve as much of their side yard as possible and had originally requested a variance for a seven (7) foot front yard setback. However, after an on-site meeting with Staff, they willingly reconfigured the layout of the accessory structure in order to achieve a forty (40) foot front yard setback. But, due to the location of the drain field,' they are unable to place the structure in such a manner to keep it even or behind the principal structure. Recommendation: City Staff recommends approval of the variance application. Board Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #03-1-__. adopting Findings of Fact # relating to Mr. and Mrs. Fossum's request for a variance to the front Yard setback for an accessory structure and to construct an accessory structure closer to the front property line than the principal structure located at 14981 Peridot St NW. Motion to approve Mr. and Mrs. Fossum's request for a variance at 14981 Peridot St NW based on the findings of fact, and adopt Resolution #03-1- declaring terms of the variance. -or- Motion to deny Mr. and Mrs. Fossum's request for a variance, based on the findings of fact.
