Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Board Members Kociscak, Reeve and Watson. Voting No: None. Absent: Board Members Johnson and Sweet. Case #2: Request for a VarianceJfrom Street Frontage or Lot Width Requirements; Case of Bruce and Carol Buchart Chairperson Nixt closed the regular portion of the Board of Adjustment meeting at 7':20 p.m. in order to conduct the public hearing. Public Hearing Chairperson Nixt called the public'hearing to order at 7:20 p.m. Presentation Community Development Director Frolik stated that Bruce and Carol Buchart are requesting a variance to the minimum lot width or street frontage requirement in order to build a home on a lot they purchased at 8110 173ra Avenue N.W. As some of the Board members may recall, the Board of Adjustment approved a variance from the minimum street frontage requirement for thi~ lot on July 7, 1998. However, no building permit was applied for within the one-year time frame and the variance expired on July 7, 1999. The owner of the property applied for a renewal and the Board of Adjustment approved it on September 4, 2000. Again, no building permit was applied for within the one-year time frame and the variance expired. The property has now been sold to Bruce and Carol Buchart and they are prepared to commence construction this year. City Code does not permit the development of a home on a lot that does not meet the minimum width requirements. City Code defines width as the amount of property that abuts the public road. In the rural residential district, the minimum lot width or street frontage requirement is 200 feet. The subject property abuts County Road #63 at two locations; one measurement is 70 feet and the other is 150 feet. In total, the parcel has 220 feet of non-contiguous street frontage. City Staff recommends re-issuance of the variance from street frontage requirements contingent upon the applicant entering into a variance agreement with the City. The proposed variance is identical to the one approved in 1998 and 2000. Citizen Input The Commission noted for the record, receipt of a letter from Kurt and Judy Dey of 8240 173~a Avenue NW, opposing the request for variance. Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Board Member Reeve, to close the public hearing. Board of Adjustment/September 10, 2001 Page 4 of 8 9
