PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />5.01: Public Hearing: Consider Request for a Variance to Accessory Building Setback <br />Requirements (Project #17-13); Case of Steve Roeder <br /> <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating the City has received an application from <br />Steve and Christine Roeder (the "Applicant") requesting a variance to the minimum side corner <br />yard setback on the property located at 15359 Zumi Court NW (the "Subject Property") to allow <br />a six (6) foot setback. This matter was originally brought to the City's attention through the Code <br />Enforcement program as the Applicant had begun work without a permit. Staff reviewed the <br />request in further detail, noting staff received five letters of support from neighboring property <br />owners and recommended approval of the variance request. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br /> <br />Christine Roeder, 15359 Zumi Court NW, thanked the Commission for their consideration. She <br />stated her yard was very limited in size and noted the shed placement was selected because this <br />was the only flat portion of the yard. She explained she had spoken with all of her neighbors and <br />all had supported the shed placement. <br /> <br />Greg Thomas, 15346 Zumi Court NW, indicated he approved of the shed stating it was <br />professionally done. He encouraged the Planning Commission to support the proposed variance. <br /> <br />Mark Emil, 15311 Yakima Street NW, stated he supported the shed noting the Roeder’s had a <br />very nice privacy fence. <br /> <br />Parker Vaughn, 15350 Yakima Street NW, questioned if there were any safety concerns with the <br />shed placement. City Planner Anderson discussed the City setbacks and stated staff does not <br />believe the shed placement was a safety issue. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/April 6, 2017 <br />Page 2 of 12 <br /> <br />
