RE: Variance request (ZBA-15-10)
Dear Clint and Jan:
I am pleased to report that the Zoning Board of Adjustment approved your request for a
variance to allow an addition to the attached garage that would encroach into the
required setback. The Board approved a variance allowing you to build within one foot
of the side lot line to the north with the following conditions.
a) The homeowner must locate the property pins and mark the property
line and proposed location of the addition to the attached garage and
driveway to the satisfaction of City staff.
b) The homeowner must remove the landscaping and restore that area
to turf if it is determined that it is on park property.
c) The homeowner must ensure that no vehicles or equipment enter
park property at any time and that there be no storage of materials on
park property.
d) Any expense to locate property lines shall be at the homeowner's
expense.
Once you have determined the location of the property line, please contact me. A
representative from this office and from the Parks and Recreation Department will visit
the site. Once we are satisfied as to the location, we will allow the Inspections Division
to issue the required building permit.
You will need to ensure that the location of the property line is obvious during the entire
time of construction so that your contractor is aware of it and will not encroach into city
property.
You will receive the official Decision and Order from the City Attorney's office in the
near future. Anyone who wishes to appeal the decision has 30 days from the release of
Planning and Housing Department 515.239.5400 ,,,,i. 515 Clark Ave.P.O.Box 811

that Decision and Order to file a claim in District Court. This includes
you if you have
Y
any concern about the conditions of approval.
It has been a pleasure to work with you on this project and hope that it adds the value to
your property that you envision.
Sincerely,
as /'
