SUMMARY STATEMENT:
During their November 3, 2020 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 – 2, to approve the
findings recommending City Council approve the variance application. During their December 3, 2020
meeting, the McCall City Council held a public hearing on VAR-20-01. The hearing was closed, and the
application was continued to the January 14th meeting to allow more time for deliberations. Following the
meeting, the applicant’s representative asked that the Council consider reopening the public hearing to
address select new information that was introduced after the hearing was closed. The Council approved the
request to reopen the hearing. The public hearing and new information on the project will be limited to three
topic areas: 1. The assertion that, through appropriate due diligence, the Sanders’ should have been aware
of the limited buildable area and that a variance would be required to proceed outside of that area; 2. The
assertion that granting the Variance would set a precedent for other applications; 3. The assertion that denial
of the Variance Application is necessary to protect the River.
The full application (attached) is for a Record of Survey application to remove the 20-foot setback from the
100 year floodplain on the subject parcel, within the River’s Crossing plat, as well as a Variance and
Shoreline Review application to waive the 50 foot setback requirement from the ordinary high-water mark
and special flood hazard area of the North Fork of the Payette River, to permit the construction of a new
4,080 sq. ft. residence with an additional 3,631 sq. ft. of patios and a 2,941 sq. ft. detached shop with a 747
sq. ft. attached accessory dwelling unit with 564 sq. ft. of patios, for a total building and patio footprint on
the site of 11,494 sq. ft. The development is located primarily within the special flood hazard area and of
the Payette River and located entirely within the Shoreline and River Environs Zone.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Open and hold the public hearing
2. Direct staff to draft findings of facts and conclusions of law documents either approving or
denying the variance, for review and approval at the next meeting.
