Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the project require a
Variance.
56 sf addition of an elevator, machine room and storage room located adjacent to the front door and providing
vertical access from the garage to the first floor entry landing. The following proposed improvements require
variances. The proposed structural coverage exceeds the allowable by 1.3% (A variance for 21.1% was
granted previously). The proposed total structural & flatwork exceeds the allowable by 6.1% (A variance
for 40.8% was granted previously) .

• •
Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and zone.
There are several aspects of the subject property which create conditions leading to the variance request.
First the lot is relatively small. The subject lot is only 69% of the average of the six adjacent lots at
53,143 sf. In addition, the subject lot has an inordinately large roadway easement @ 8,788 sf. As a result
the net lot area is significantly less and the allowable structural coverage is reduced when compared to a
typical lot of similar size. The large roadway easement also results in 4,167 sf of additional hardscape
coverage. Furthermore, the irregular shape of the lot particularly the narrow section @ the Northeast
corner from which the site is accessed dictates a much longer and larger driveway and in turn an increase
in the percentage of disturbed lot area. Lastly, the subject lot has a very steep slope across the narrow
width running North & South. Consequently, a more aggressive use of retaining walls is required to provide
improvements similar to those enjoyed by neighbors with more gradually sloping lots. The severe
slope also means that more of the lot is disturbed to accommodate the retaining walls and 2:1 slope areas.
(cont'd on next page)
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the
property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located because
Because of the severe topography and the location of the existing residence on the lot along the North
property line the proposed improvements are largely if not entirely out of view of the neighbors. In
addition, because the proposed improvements occur adjacent to the existing residence and in areas of the
subject property that have already been disturbed there is no negative impact on the neighbors views,
privacy, drainage or the public welfare.
FILING FEE
A filing fee must accompany the application. Make check payable to: CITY OF ROLLING

Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and zone.
(continued) The relatively small lot size, severe slope, location of the existing residence and the irregular
lot size make it impractical to provide the required future 450 square foot stable & 550 square foot corral.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the
property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property is located because
While the lot size, topography, location of the existing residence and irregular lot make it impractical to
provide the required future 450 square foot stable & 550 square foot corral on this particular property this
in no way limits the same use on the adjacent properties or on any property in the City.
FILING FEE
A filing fee must accompany the application. Make check payable to: CITY OF ROLLING
