Gary Taylor 548 Oak Street Central Point, OR 97502 Same Summary; The applicant Gary L. Taylor has applied for a Variance from the minimum rear yard setback that would allow the construction of a garage to be located at 548 Oak Street. The subject parcel is zoned R-3, Residential Multiple-Family. Authority- CPMC 1.24.050 vests the Planning Commission with the authority to hold a public hearing and render a decision on any application for a Variance. Notice of the Public Hearing was given in accordance with CPMC 1.24.060. ApFlicable Law: CPMC 17.28.010 et seq. - R-3, Residential Multiple-Family District CPMC 17.80.010 et seq. -Variances Discussion• The applicant, Gary Taylor has applied for a Variance from the minimum rear yard setback that would allow the construction of a standard 2 car garage. The current parcel is 3850 square feet and does not meet the required 7000 square foot minimum lot size for corner lots in the Residential Multiple-Family District although it is legally non-conforming. While CPMC 17.60.060 allows an exemption for existing substandard lot sizes, the property owner often must attempt to build within difficult setback'limitations. If approved'the variance would allow the applicant to construct the garage within three feet of the rear property line. 1 The applicant would then meet the City's requirement for two covered off-street parking spaces but would not meet the rear setback requirements. Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law CPMC 17.80.010 stipulates that the Planning Commission may grant a Variance if findings are made that the following considerations will either result from the granting of the Variance or do not apply to the requested application: 1. The Variance will provide added advantages to the neighborhood or the City such as beautification or safety; ^ The addition of a garage will allow the applicant to park his,vehicles in an enclosed structure out of the public right of way and also meet current off street covered parking requirements. 2. .The Variance will not have any significant adverse impacts upon the neighborhood; ^ The City has not received any correspondence in favor of or opposed to the proposal.. 3. The Variance will utilize property within the intent and the purpose of the zoning district: ^ The proposed structure is located within an appropriately zoned (R-3) district. 4. Circumstances affect the property that generally do not apply to property in the same zoning district; and ^ The parcel upon which a new structure is proposed is a legally non-conforming lot. 5. The conditions for which the Variance is requested were not self-imposed through the applicant's own actions, not the actions of the applicant's agents, employees or family members. ^ The records of the Jackson County Assessor indicate that the current parcel . configuration occurred during the early 1970's. The applicant has submitted findings of fact for considerationby the Commission (Exhibit "C"). Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take one of the following actions: 1. Approve the Variance application based on the findings of fact contained in the record and subject to the recommended conditions of approval; or 2. Deny the proposed Variance application; or 3. Continue the review and public hearing for the Variance application at the discretion of the Commission. Exhibits: A. Site Plan B. Notice of Public Hearing C. Applicant's Findings D.

This change would not affect any neighbor as it would not be close to any houses, nor would it hinder anyone's view or access. If set back stays 10 ft, due to the width of the road (40 ft) and the fact that it is a wrner lot, it would only allow room to build a 17 ft. garage. EXHIBIT "D" RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. The project shall be constructed in accordance with the approved site plan. 2. A building permit shall be obtained for the construction. 3. The Variance approval shall expire in one year, March 17, 1999 unless a building permit has been issued and construction has commenced and is diligently pursued toward completion. G:\PLANNMG\ V ARCOA. W PD O PLANNING DEPARTMENT -STAFF REPORT HEARING DATE: March 17,1998 TO: Central Point Planning Commission FROM: Tom Humphrey, AICP Planning Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing -Variance from the special setback requirements of CPMC ,17.60.090 and consideration of clear vision requirements of CPMC 17.60.120 at 1015 Sunrise Way (37 2W 02BC Tax Lot 1518) A licant Owner: Tom Malot Construction Company 650 E. Pine Street Central Point, OR 97502 ent: Same Summary. The applicant Tom Malot has applied for a Variance from the special setback requirements for secondary arterial roadways. The subject parcel is zoned R-3, Residential Multiple-Family. Authority: CPMC 1.24.050 vests the Planning Commission with the authority to hold a public hearing and render a decision on any application for a Variance. Notice of the Public Hearing was given in accordance with CPMC 1.24.060. AFplicable Law: CPMC 17.28.010 et seq. - R-3, Residential Multiple-Family District CPMC 17.80.010 et seq. -Variances CPMC 17.60.090 Special Setback Requirements CPMC 17.60.120 Clear Vision Triangle- Measurement Standard Specifications/ Public Works Department Central Point Comprehensive Plan Discussion• Tom Malot is requesting a Variance from the special setback requirements on North Tenth Street which is identified as a secondary arterial in the Central Point Comprehensive Plan. CPMC 17.60.090 requires that structural development along secondary arterials maintain a minimum setback of 60 feet measured from the centerline. The distance from the N 10th Street centerline to the proposed dwelling is only 52 feet requiring a variance of 8 feet (refer to Exhibit A). The stated reasons for special setback requirements are to afford better light, air, and vision on more heavily traveled streets and to permit the eventual widening of streets.. J .. n CPMC 17.60.120 and the Standard Specifications of the Public Works Department also require that development along secondary arterial roadways maintain a vision triangle of 55 feet. The applicant has satisfied this requirement at the intersection of Sunrise Way and N 10th Street but an adjoining neighbor has raised the issue of sight distance from the driveway at 364 N 10th (see Exhibit F). The Public Works Standards and Specifications do appear to apply to driveways (property access) as well as intersecting streets. However it is unclear to staff when the Clear Vision Area should be applied and from what point in the driveway the sight distance should be measured. The Public Works document states that, "Clear.Vision Areas shall be established when designing and constructing intersections with streets, driveways or alleys (see Exhibit G). Measuring he clear-vision area from the centerline of the neighbor's driveway it appears that neither the neighbor nor Mr. Malot would meet the City's criteria.. It is staff's belief that front yard setbacks are intended to provide an unobstructed view of City streets from which property is accessed. Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law CPMC 17.80.010 stipulates that the Planning Commission may grant a Variance if findings are made that the following considerations will either result from the granting of the Variance or do not apply to the requested application: The Variance will provide added advantages to the neighborhood or the city such as beautification or safety; ~ The applicant has stated that approval of a variance would turn a potentially unbuildable lot into an additional housing site and that the design satisfies the 55' sight triangle setback at the intersection of Sunrise Way and N 10th Street (refer to Exhibit "C"). ^ According to the Public Works Department, the City has no long range plans to require more right-of--way or to widen the east side of N 10th Street between Sunrise Way and Cherry Street. 2. The Variance will not have any significant adverse impacts upon the neighborhood; ^ A neighbor at 364 North Tenth Street has enclosed a letter expressing concern about the sight distance from her driveway (Exhibit "F") for the Commission to consider. ^ The applicant has submitted a list of twelve dwellings (within one block of the subject properly) from which existing setback measurements were made. Three of the twelve or 25% meet or exceed the special setback requirement (see Exhibit "E"). 3. .The Variance will utilize property within the intent and the purpose of the zoning district: ^ The proposed residence is located in an appropriately zoned (R-3) district. i0 4. ,Circumstances affect the property that generally do not apply to the property in the same zoning district; and The property in question is located on a 3,800 square foot corner lot which, when all special setback requirements are applied becomes difficult to develop. The conditions for which the Variance is requested were not self-imposed through the applicant's own actions, not the actions of the applicant's agents, employees or family members. ^ The applicant has stated that the condition requiring the variance was not solely self imposed. The original configuration and approval of the padlots, which the applicant subsequently acquired, has required other adjustments in addition to the proposed variance. The applicant has submitted findings of fact for consideration by the Commission (Exhibit "C "). Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take one of the following actions: Approve the Variance application based onthe findings of fact contained in the record and subject to the recommended conditions of approval; or 2. Deny the proposed Variance application; or 3. Continue the review and public hearing for the Variance application at the discretion of the Commission hibits• A. Site Plan B.

The current required setback creates a hardship for Lot 19 making it an unbuildable lot: However, our requested variance would help alleviate this hardship making it a buildable lot that would enhance the neighborhood. The area is being unproved with housing of value to the neighborhood by proper design and land usability, both of which are advantages to the citizens of Central Point. This request for a variance will not have any adverse impacts upon the neighborhood as proposed within"the 55' sight triangle setback. This condition was not solely self-imposed, as Lot 18 8t 19 ware developed unbuildable. On November 8, 1997, I submitted a preliminary design for approval to the City Building Departtent. On December 10, 1997 I received a letter from the City of Central Point Planning Department with the possible approval of a lot line adjustment for Lot 18 and 19 if the lot square footage for each would be maintained as stated in the letter. I then employed Hoffbuhr & Associates to prepare a metes & bounds description to conform with the City's requirements on Lots 18 & 19. We then submitted the properly line adjustments on January 20, 1998 and they were recorded on February 23, 1998. On February 24, 1998, it was then brought to my attention of a required 60' setback on 10~' Street from center line. This was my first knowledge that a problem might exist. Since this was brought to ,ny attention I have researched and made available to you an enclosed list of existing properties that do not conform to these setbacks on 10'~ Street. As you can see this variance will not take away from the neighborhood but enhance it. In closing I would request approval of this variance as time is of the essence. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, , ,,"~ Thomas E. Malot Encl ~ ~ President EXHIBIT "D" RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. The project shall be constructed in accordance with the approved site plan. 2. A building permit shall be obtained for the construction. 3.

I contended that 1) Planning Department fees should be commensurate with the work performed by staff and 2) these fees should not be listed in the Municipal Code but rather in a Department fee schedule-that can be more easily read and updated. Discussion Following our meeting in February and in the process of preparing the Department budget, I discovered the attached list of Central Point Municipal Code Fees that was prepared by the City Attorney in 1991. This is a fairly complete list with the exception of the Site Plan Fee (Section 17.72.021) that we discussed last month. These are all of the code sections that would have to be amended to clean things up. It is my understanding that the Building Department has already removed its fee references from the code as part of the development of their fee schedule. The Planning Deparhnent has prepared the attached draft of Planning Application Fees for your consideration and comment. The proposal identifies the Type of Action, corresponding code section, current and proposed fees and the potential revenue that could be generated given the trends experienced this year. Proposed fees are either a continuation of existing fees, an estimate of processing time or a comparable charge from elsewhere in Jackson County. I would like the Commissioner's feedback regarding the Department's proposal and will be prepared to answer any questions that you might have at the meeting. 23 LFST OF CPMC FEES Code Amount ion Purpose of F e of Fee Is Fee a Tax Slnder Measurn_ 1.20.040 Annexation Proposal Fee $ 325 No 2.52.010 Dishonored Check Fee $ 5 No 2.52.020D.
