There was no old business.
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. 135 Pine Street ZVAR21-0012 (Sondra Goldschmidt)
Request for a variance to reduce the side yard setback to rebuild an existing
screen enclosure.
STAFF REPORT: Planner Genest presented the information as explained in the staff
report. She also provided a PowerPoint presentation.
APPLICANT COMMENT: Sondra Goldschmidt introduced herself as the owner of
135 Pine Street. She said the structure being built would be like-for-like
replacement of the existing screen enclosure. Ms.Goldschmidt said she is wanting
to change the type of roof and make everything safer. She gave the Board a few
pictures.
Ms. Simmons asked about the width of the enclosure. •Director Askew said it was 11
feet 4 inches but wasn't sure about the depth. Ms. Goldschmidt explained that moving
the porch south to meet the side yard setback would then impede on the other setback on
the north. Mr. Schooling asked if it satisfies rear yard setback and she said it would. Mr.
Haynie asked if the owner of the other townhouse was Ryan who sent the email in
support and who was in the audience. Ms. Goldschmidt confirmed and said his brother
Chris was in the audience also.
PUBLIC COMMENT: Chair.Hansen read an email from the neighbor who is in favor
of granting the variance.Chair Hansen opened the floor to public comment. There
being no public comments Chair Hansen closed the floor.
BOARD DISCUSSION: Ms. Simmons asked if a townhouse patio could be on the
property line. Director Askew said that a patio can go to the property line because
it is under 30 inches. She said the owner at the time probably added the enclosure
later. Mr. Schooling asked if there was anything in the code that addressed the
shared lot line of townhomes or duplexes since by their very nature they are legal
non-conforming. Director Askew said there isn't a provision in the code but they
would be opening up Chapter 24 soon and that there would be a provision that will
be written into the code.
MOTION: To APPROVE ZVAR21-0012 based on condition #3 of the grounds for
decision criteria.
Motion: Jennifer Lagner

Ms. Simmons questioned the condition that the decision was being based on. Ms. Lanier
explained that if you have 5 feet setbacks on each side of a 25 feet wide lot then you only have
15 feet remaining to work with.

5. REPORTS
There were no reports.
A. Chapter 23 Discussion
Director Askew presented information regarding newly updated Chapter 23 (Tree Code).
A PowerPoint presentation was provided. She explained that there was a lot of work by
all involved to develop this section of the code. Director Askew said the major changes
were the definition of a regulated tree, the mitigation requirements and the appeal and
variance process. She explained how the mitigation and Tree Fund works. Director
Askew presented a chart that explained how mitigation works. She said that some
appeals of Staff decisions are made to the ESC Tree Sub-committee. Director Askew
said the CDB would be hearing variance requests and can give relief to the Tree Code
with guidelines that she explained. She said that Staff would provide a Staff Report and
Presentation just as they do now.
