1. Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a request by Carlos
Torres for a Variance to Section 3.1 A (3) Development Standards
of the Zoning Ordinance for A/30 zoned properties requiring a
minimum 200 feet width and 20 feet side yard setbacks, property
located at 950 Hensley Lane, being Lot 1, Block A of the Torres
Addition. (ZBA 2011-04).
Mr. Lee stated that the property is located at 950 Hensley Lane, and the
applicant is Carlos Torres. The applicant is requesting a variance from
requirements in the Development Standards from a 200 foot minimum lot width to
a 100 foot lot width and from a 20 foot side yard to 10 foot.
The applicant desires to construct a Single Family Residential House. The
existing residential structure was demolished in March. The applicant made the
effort to purchase adjacent property in order to meet the Development Standards
Requirements and was unable to obtain the property.
The property was annexed into the city in the 1990's. A single family residential
dwelling is an allowed use, but the subject lot does not comply with minimum
yard requirements. A Final Plat was approved by Planning and Zoning on August
2, 2011 and will be considered by City Council on August 23, 2011 subject to
approval of the variance requests.
Public Comment Forms were mailed to nine property owners within 200 feet of
the property, and no comment forms were returned either in favor or opposition
of the request. 11
Chair Jourdan opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Carlos Torres, 950 Hensley Lane, applicant, stated that there are no other
structures on the property, and he desires to construct a Single Family
Residential Home.
Mr. Baumbach expressed concern of request for two variances on the same lot,
and when the tract of land was annexed into the city a hardship was created on
the lot width and setbacks.
Chair Jourdan closed the Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Board Member Baumbach, and Board Member Price, to
Grant a variance to Section 3.1 A (3) Development Standards of the Zoning
Ordinance for A130 requiring a minimum 200 feet width and 20 feet side yard
setbacks, property located at 950 Hensley Lane, being Lot 1, Block A of the
Torres Addition. ZBA 2011-04. Motion carried 4 — 0.
