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 Second: Jeff Haynie Community Development Board(CDB) August 17,2021 Page 2 of 3 Ms. Simmons questioned the condition that the decision was being based on.
