DPZA ETAILEDROPOSAL AND ONINGNALYSIS 1 Thomas and Melissa Biggs purchased 3088 West Owasso Boulevard in 2006 and reconstructed 2 the home in 2007. Aerial photography indicates a boathouse on the subject property in the 1985 3 photo set, but earlier imagery is too distorted to determine if a boathouse was on the property. 4 This property, located in City Planning District 4, has a Comprehensive Plan designation of 5 Low-Density Residential (LR) and a zoning classification of Low-Density Residential-1 (LDR- 6 1) District. The subject property also lies within the Shoreland Overlay District, which is guided 7 by requirements that were established in 1979. 8 The Biggses would like to relocate and reconstruct a new modest-sized boathouse to continue to 9 meet their lake-use needs. The survey of the property prepared in 2007 for the new home 10 construction indicates a 22-foot by 14-1/2-foot (319 sq. ft.) existing boathouse 1 foot 8 inches 11 from the Ordinary High Watermark (OHW) and 3 feet from the side yard property line. The 12 proposed structure would be located approximately 5 feet from the side yard property line and 13 set off the shoreline or OHW approximately 4 feet. It would be of a similar size and width as the 14 existing structure or 14-1/2 feet in width and 21-1/2 feet in depth and roughly 300 sq. ft. (see 15 Attachment C). 16 City Code §1017.17.C (Permitted Water-Oriented Accessory Structures) states: Each lot may 17 have one water-oriented non-habitable accessory structure not meeting the normal structure 18 setback in subsection 1017.16.A of this Chapter \[75 feet\] if this water-oriented accessory 19 structure complies with the following provisions: 20 1. Water-oriented accessory structure dimensional requirements: 21 a. Maximum floor area: 250 square feet 22 b. Maximum width as viewed from the water: 12 feet 23 c. Maximum height: 10 feet 24 d. Setback from ordinary high watermark* 25 e. Boathouse setback from ordinary high water level: 10 feet** 26 f. Side yard setback from property line: 20 feet 27 g. Detached deck height above grade: 8 feet 28 *50% of distance between ordinary high watermark and the structure setback from the water 29 **Also permitted for docks and off season storage of ice fishing houses 30 Based on the above requirements and the proposal submitted, the Biggses boathouse will require 31 variances from subsection a, b, e, and f. 32 DZA ETAILEDONINGNALYSIS 33 The existing boathouse, while not meeting certain setback and dimensional standards, is deemed 34 to be a pre-existing non-conforming structure that is allowed to be replaced under the Code with 35 the exact same dimensional standards and in the same location. Given the current state of the 36 structure, specifically the concrete slab on which the boathouse is constructed, the age of the 37 building, and the fact that a number trees have matured in close proximity, the Biggses would 38 like to relocate and reconstruct a boathouse of similar size so as not to lose any of the pre- 39 existing allowances currently afforded. 40 PF14-028_RVBA_0110514 Page 2 of 5
