6. New Business – Public Hearing
7. Case No. B19007- 2006 Redwood Dr, Rear Setback Variance. Request filed by Adam Brenneke,
applicant, and Ronald and Patricia Eichholz, property owners, for an 10 foot variance to the 30
foot rear setback to permit a 20 foot rear setback to accommodate a 152 sf addition to the
residence. The property is located 300’ west of the intersection of Boonville Road and Redwood
Drive and is described as Lot 2 of Boonville Terrace Subdivision, City of Jefferson, Cole County,
Missouri.
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the request is to allow the owners to build
an addition to accommodate an upstairs laundry room. The setback variance is required in order
to permit a building addition. In order to construct the proposed addition a rear setback variance
is needed. The subject lot is smaller than what is required for the district.
Mr. Adam Brenneke, 5013 Sunrise Drive, spoke on behalf of the homeowners. He stated the
need for the addition is a necessity and assured the structure would fit in the home and other
residences in the area.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Zollinger gave the Planning Division staff report and explained the required findings appear to
be met for both variances. The setback variance would not create any obvious safety concerns or
major impacts on the use of adjacent property.
Ms. Keating moved and Mr. Crabtree seconded to approve to approve a variance for lot 6 from
the zoning code requirement that all lots have frontage on a publicly dedicated street
After discussion, the motion passed 5-0 with the following roll call vote:
Aye: Hake, Lacy, Schaefer, Seaver and Cartwright.
Mr. Seaver moved and Mr. Cartwright seconded to approve the requested variance of 10 feet to
the 30 foot rear setback to permit a rear setback of 20 feet
After discussion, the motion passed 5-0 with the following roll call vote:
Aye: Hake, Schaefer, Seaver, Crabtree and Cartwright.
