Planning Case 14-017; Variance; 3441 Lake Johanna Boulevard – Not a Public <br />Hearing <br /> <br />City Planner Streff stated that the applicants in this case own the property located at 3441 Lake <br />Johanna Boulevard. The property is zoned R-2 Single & Two Family Residential and is generally <br />positioned north of Noble Road, south of Grant Road, east of Fairview Avenue North and west of <br />Lake Johanna/Lake Johanna Boulevard. The property is located on a through-lot between <br />Fairview Avenue and Lake Johanna Boulevard and consists of a conforming single-family <br />dwelling and a nonconforming detached accessory structure. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff indicated that the applicants are proposing to reconstruct and expand the <br />nonconforming accessory structure on the property from twenty-two (22) feet by twenty-two (22) <br />feet to twenty-four (24) feet by twenty-six (26) feet, an increase of 140 square feet. Along <br />Fairview Avenue, the proposed structure would encroach at the same distance along the entire <br />length of the garage as a new alignment is being proposed to align the structure with the western <br />property line. As proposed, the roofline of the accessory structure would also change from an <br />east/west orientation to a north/south orientation in order for the garage to be accessible from the <br />existing driveway. <br />
