Subject: Zoning Case No. 441
6 Maverick Lane, Lot 25 SK
Applicant: Mr. and Mrs. Michael Salisbury
Request:
DISCUSSION
Request for a Variance to encroach into the
front and side yard setbacks to construct a
residential addition.
This item was introduced at the October 16, 1990 Planning
Commissionmeeting. The case was continued to an adjourned meeting
to conduct a field inspection of the site and surrounding
properties, on November 3, 1990. At the site inspection the
Planning Commission reviewed the proposed residential additions
which do not exceed 25% of the existing structure.
In a previous staff report, highlights of the development were
listed and are offered again as a review:
1.) The existing residence is currently nonconforming with a
front yard setback of 14 feet from the terminus of Maverick
Lane. (The breakfast room addition and bathroom No. 4 addition
do not encroach into the front yard setback by any greater
distance than the existing house)
2.) A maximum encroachment of two feet is proposed for the
side yard. This expansion is for the third bathroom addition.
3.) The house is set below street level by approximately 6
feet, therefore the additions will not create a view
impairment.
4.) Lot and pad coverages will comply with City requirements.
5.) No grading is planned for any of the additions; existing
level ground will be utilized.
FINDINGS
1.) The existing angular development pattern of the residence,
primarily oriented to the front of the property restricts
options to expand the house.

• •
2.) Due to the topography in the vicinity, many houses on
Maverick Lane and Caballeros don't comply with the 50' front
yard setback.
3.) As stated above, the existing house is approximately 6
feet below street level, and would not cause a view
impairment.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that based on the findings stated above, the
Planning Commission grant the variance and direct staff to draft
a resolution of approval.

Request for a variance to encroach into the front and side
yard setbacks to construct residential additions
REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF ISSUES
In reviewing the applicant's request under Title 17 (Zoning), staff would
identify the following issues for evaluation:
1. The applicant is requesting a variance to build additions to the
residence within the front and a side yard setback area. The existing
residence is nonconforming with a front yard setback of 14 feet from the
terminus of Maverick Lane. A maximum encroachment of two feet is proposed
for a portion of the Bath #3 addition. The applicant has planned various
additions that do not require site plan review, since the proposed amount
of expansion does not exceed 25 percent of the existing structure.
2. Lot and pad coverages will comply with City requirements. No grading
is planned for any of the additions, and existing level ground will be
utilized. The angular development pattern of the residence and
construction generally toward the front of the property has lended to
restrictive expansion of the house.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission receive public testimony and continue
the matter to an adjourned meeting to conduct a field inspection of the
site and surrounding properties.
