2.3 A fire rated wall will be required on those portions of the addition that are less than six feet from the detached garage in order to provide adequate fire separation. 2.4 Section 1012.01 BD, City Code, requires a side yard setback of no less than five feet for residential parcels established and recorded prior to May 21, 1959. M MINOR VARIANCE COMMITTEE 3.1 The request for the variance included the required application form, sketch of the property and proposed addition, written statement from the applicant, and written approval from the adjacent property owners affected by the variance (Helen Dokken at 2673 Galtier Street N, John Meath at 2687 Galtier Street N, Richard Pettersen at 2678 Galtier Street N, Robert Null at 2686 Galtier Street N, Ann Kees at 2672 Galtier Street N, Joyce McFadden at 2688 Matilda Street N, Herman Strutz 'at 2680 Matilda Street N, and Doug Maltby at 2674 Matilda Street N). 3.2 The Minor Variance Committee reviewed this request on June 2, 1997, and unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to reduce the side yard setback to two feet for the purpose of constructing an addition to an existing house which will be less than six feet from an existing non-conforming detached garage at 2679 Galtier Street N, based on the following findings: 1. The existing detached garage at 2679 Galtier Street N is set back two feet from the northern side property line. 2. The proposed addition to the house on this property will reduce the setback between the house and the detached garage to less than six feet. In situations where the setback between the principal structure and accessory structure is less than six feet, the accessory structure is considered to be an integral part of the principal structure. 3. The construction of the addition will reduce the side yard setback of the principal structure (house and existing detached garage) to two feet from the northern side property line; however, the addition will not actually encroach into the overall established building setback lines on the property. 4. The addition is needed in order to accommodate the expanded family situation required to care for Mrs. Johnson. 5. There is no other practical location for the addition on the property. 6. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 7. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. PF#2917 - RCA - Page 2 of 3
