Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 87014
Applicant: David Brandvold
Location: 5819 Bryant Avenue North
Request: Variance
The applicant requests approval of a variance to subdivide the lot at 5819 Bryant
Avenue North into two lots including a lot with a width of only 72.72' rather than the
75' required by ordinance. The lot in question is zoned RI and is bounded by Bryant
Avenue North on the east, and by single-family homes on the south, west and north.
The application is subject to the standards contained in Section 15-112 of the
Subdivision Ordinance and those contained in Section 35-240 of the Zoning Ordinance
(both attached) The applicant has submitted no written arguments addressing these
standards. The precedent for this type of variance is considerable, however. In
general, lot variances have been granted where two out of three lot requirements
(width, depth, and area) are met and the request is "reasonable and the variance is
minimized."
Staff feel that this request is indeed reasonable. The extra depth to the lot makes
the area more than adequate for a single-family lot. Also, the presence of utility
stubs that have already been paid for argues persuasively for the right of the
property owner to have a second lot from his property. The applicant has also
minimized the variance by proposing one lot of 75' width and another at 72.721.
Finally, there appears to be no detriment to surrounding property since the proposed
lot is as large as a standard single-family lot.
It should be noted that many of the lots on this block are oversized, but are not as
large as the lot being split in this case. Therefore, in granting the requested
variance, we do not believe a precedent is established to grant other lot variances
on this block. Property owners on this block may feel that a larger lot size should
be required -because of the large lots on the block. However, as with the lot area
variance for Steve Cook, staff do not feel that a higher standards may be applied for
this particular block. The standard we recommend is that for the whole community,
not for a particular block.
In conclusion, we recommend approval of the variance request on the basis of the
following:
1. The proposed lot has extra depth which produces ample lot area.
2. Extra water and sewer laterals have been extended to the property
and have been paid for.
3. The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the petitioner.
4. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to other property in the neighborhood.
5. The extent of the variance has been minimized by creating one lot
of 75' width and another of 72.721.
6. The property shall be platted in accordance with the provisions
of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances.
7. An existing detached garage shall be relocated onto the proposed
Lot 1 with a minimum side yard setback of 3'.
