Communications Received No correspondence was received. 6. New Business – Public Hearing Case No. B19005 - 929 Fairmount Blvd, Setback Variance. Request filed by Shirley Sanders, property owner, for a 2 foot variance to the 5 foot side setback for accessory structures to permit a 3 foot setback for a new garage. The property is located on the east side of Fairmount Blvd 200’ north of the intersection of Fairmount Blvd and Oakwood Drive and is described as Lot 14, Block 2 of Wagner Place Subdivision, City of Jefferson, Cole County, Missouri. Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the property consists of a single family residential home located within an established residential neighborhood. The property owners desire to construct a garage where one previously existed. The garage was taken down several years ago. The side setback required for accessory structures is 5 feet from the property line. The foundation of the previous structure existed 3 feet from the property line. The owner of the property poured the new foundation where the old foundation existed not knowing that a new structure would require a variance. In order to accommodate the proposed construction of the garage, the property owner has applied for a variance to the side setback requirement for accessory structures. Ms. Shirley Sanders, applicant and homeowner, 929 Fairmount Blvd., spoke regarding her request. She spoke in favor of her request and stated that the neighbors she spoke with were in favor as well. No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received. Mr. Zollinger gave the Planning Division staff report and explained the setback variance would not create any obvious safety concerns or major impacts on property value. Mr. Seaver moved and Mr. Cartwright seconded to approve the requested variance of 2 feet from the standard 5 feet side setback of accessory structures to permit a side setback of 3 feet. After discussion, the motion passed 5-0 with the following roll call vote: Aye: Hake, Keating, Cartwright, Schaefer, Seaver 7. Miscellaneous Reports None. 8. Other Business None. 9. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 7:87 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Anne Stratman Neighborhood Services Specialist
