Re: Application for Zoning Variances for property located at 631 Beach Avenue
Dear Mr. Goelz:
Your application for a Zoning Variance has been received; however, all information required to
be submitted is not included with the application. I have attempted to reach you by phone, but
have been unsuccessful. I am unable to determine how to prepare the required notice which
must be published a minimum of one week prior to the Community Development Board
meeting, therefore, I cannot schedule your request to be heard by the CD Board at their January
meeting.
Please note that a deed and survey, which shows existing development and proposed
development, must be submitted. Also, the form that your application was submitted upon is no
longer used by the City. I have provided the new form along with this letter.
While we have previously discussed your proposed garage, I remain unclear, based upon your
application, what specific variances you are requesting. Your garage currently appears to exist
as a Garage Apartment, which is governed by Section 24-88 of the zoning regulations. Garage
Apartments are not restricted to the 600 square feet, 12 feet height limitation as set forth in
Section 24-151 (b) (1) iii, which provides the applicable standards for detached garages. I have
provided applicable sections of the zoning regulations for your consideration.
Please call me at 247-5817 with any questions. I will be happy to assist so that your request may
be properly advertised and scheduled for the February 19th meeting of the Community
Development Board.
Sincerely,
Sonya B. Doerr, AICP
Community Development Director
