Request filed by Jefferson City Flying Service, lessee of property owned by the City of Jefferson, for a variance to floodplain regulations. The purpose of the request is to permit construction of a 120-foot x 100-foot Airplane Hangar as a wet-floodproofed structure. The property is described as part of Section 16, Township 44 North, Range 11 West, Jefferson City, Callaway County, Missouri. NATURE OF REQUEST This proposal for a variance to floodplain regulations would permit wet floodproofing by allowing the use of engineered flood vents that allow for the automatic entry and exit of floodwater to be incorporated into the construction of a 120-foot by 100-foot airplane hangar, similar to other existing hangars at the Jefferson City Memorial Airport. The Flood Code allows wet floodproofing of accessory structures up to 400 square feet. The proposed hangar exceeds the allowable square footage, and the building would not be considered an accessory structure, which is why a variance is requested. CONSIDERATIONS REQUIRED Sec. 31-312. Variances. In passing upon such applications for variances, the Board of Adjustment shall consider all technical data and evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this article, and: Consideration Staff Comments a. The danger that materials may Wet floodproofing with flood vents would equalize be swept onto other lands to hydrostatic pressure on the walls and floor of the the injury of others; proposed structure. The owner would be required to submit a flood evacuation plan detailing removal of all contents prior to a flood, similar to what is required of other tenants. River stages of the MO River are monitored hourly by NOAA to aid in their flood forecasts. By following these forecasts, ample warning time is allowed to follow the components of a coordinated flood evacuation plan. b. The danger of life and The required flood evacuation plan would detail property due to flooding or exactly what steps the owner will take at a particular erosion damage; river stage. Flooding of the MO River takes place over a prolonged period allowing plenty of warning ahead of a flood event, as opposed to flash flooding which can occur rapidly in smaller watersheds. During times of flooding, this area is subject to backwater flooding and potential siltation from sediment that drops out of suspension, but it is not subject to erosion. c. The susceptibility of the The combination of wet floodproofing of the proposed proposed facility and its hangar, and the requirement of a flood evacuation plan contents to flood damage and tied to key river stages would alleviate damage to the Case No. B22002 Staff Report February 8, 2022 Page 2 the effect of such damage on structure, as well as damage to any contents the the individual owner; individual owner may have in the hangar during times of flooding. Hydrostatic pressure would be automatically equalized by the automatic opening of the flood vents. The flood evacuation plan would be tied to various river stages, and would require removal of contents prior to flooding. d. The importance of the services The Jefferson City Memorial Airport provides a vital provided by the proposed service to the community, with hangar space being one facility to the community; of many benefits. e.

The river stages are monitored by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and the individual flood evacuation plans of the airport tenants, as well as the City's Flood Action Plan are triggered at various river stages.

Page 2 of 10 Jefferson City Board of Adjustment Application Addendum L — Variance to Floodplain Regulations To be used for variance requests dealing with floodplain management regulations. (Section 31-312) Property Address 527 Airport Road - New 2023 Hangar Applicant Name, Jefferson City Flying Service Provide responses to the following required findings. State all reasons for your answer and use additional pages to complete your answer if necessary. Is there a danger of materials being swept away from the property and/or onto other lands to the injury of others? No, the building will be constructed with flood vents which will equalize the pressure and allow for wet floodproofing of the structure. Contents will be removed prior to a flood event. This is in the Missouri River Floodplain which is not typically a flash flood threat. 2. Would the proposed variance danger life and property due to flooding or erosion damage? No 3. Would the proposed variance increase the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage? Describe the effect of such damage on the individual owner. No, the variance would allow for construction of a "wet -flood proofed" building which would decrease the susceptibility of damage. 4. Describe the importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community. Jefferson City Memorial Airport provides a vital function to not only Jefferson City, but also the Central Missouri area and due to changes and growth at Columbia Regional Airport, many smaller aircraft are being relocated to this facility, thus the need for extra storage which this facility will provide. Jefferson City Board of Adjustment Application Addendum L — Variance to Floodplain Regulations Page 3 5. Is a waterfront location necessary for the facility? This facility is not a "waterfront" facility, but will be located at the Jefferson City Memorial Airport which is located in the Missouri River Floodplain area. 6. Are there alternative locations available, not subject to flooding or erosion damage, for the proposed use? No 7. Describe the compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and anticipated development. Include details about the relationship with the site and surrounding properties. This is an aircraft hangar designed to store aircraft and must be located at the airport. The City of Jefferson placed the airport at this location which happens to be in the floodplain. 8. Describe the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for the area. This facility would be compatible with the existing and proposed uses of this area. 9. Would the proposed variance affect safe access to the property in times of a flood event for ordinary and/or emergency vehicles? No Jefferson City Board of Adjustment Application Addendum L — Variance to Floodplain Regulations Page 3 10. Describe the expected amount and how the following would impact the site, if applicable; -Heights of flood water (100 year floodplain height) BFE = 557.00, FF=548.15 -Velocity, duration, rate of rise of flood water This can vary with the particular flood event, but in general, flood events in the Missouri River floodplain are predicted by the Corps of Engineers and ample time is usually available for preparation. -Sediment transport of flood water This is not anticipated to be an issue. The Missouri River has a high sediment content, but will not affect or impact the site as designed. 11. Would the proposed variance cause financial burden due to government services being provided during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and street and bridge? Explain. No, the owner has numerous facilities in this area and has for years and are used to dealing with flood events.

Request filed by David Overfelt, property owner, for a 6 foot variance from the required 25 foot front setback for the RS-1 Low Density Residential zoning district to permit a 19 foot front setback to accommodate construction of a garage addition. The property is located on the east side of the intersection of Green Meadow Drive and Whitney Woods Drive and is described as Lot No. 15 of Greenberry Hills Subdivision Section 1 in the City of Jefferson, Cole County, Missouri. PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice was given by publication in the newspaper, by letter to all adjacent and affected property owners located within 185 feet of the subject property, and by property sign posting; each of these means adequately distributed in advance of the meeting. NATURE OF REQUEST The applicant desires to construct a car garage addition to the side of the house. This expansion is for a 12' garage addition to the northern side of the existing garage as shown in the visual provided by the applicant. Based on the proposed dimensions and placement of the garage addition, the structure would extend approximately 4' into the required 25' front setback for property located within a RS- 1 Single Family Residential zoning district. Therefore, to permit the construction of the buildout in the desired location, the applicant is requesting a 6' variance from the required 25' front setback to permit a 19' front setback for the subject property. Variances such as those for front setbacks, according to the City Code for the City of Jefferson, must go through review and approval status determination made by the Board of Adjustment. Findings are a part of the decision making process and 4 votes in favor of the request is needed for granted approval. ZONING AND SURROUNDING LAND USE Current Zoning: RS-1 Single Family Residential Surrounding Zoning Surrounding Uses North RS-1 Single Family Residence South RS-1 Single Family Residence East RS-1 Single Family Residence West RS-1 Single Famil Residence BACKGROUND INFORMATION One driveway serves as vehicular access into the property. The existing house on site rests at an angle, running parallel with the south property line and at an acute angle from the west property line/street. Lots within the RS-1 zoning district are required to have a front setback of 25' per Exhibit 35-51A Density and Dimensional Standards. The proposed garage addition would extend a maximum of 6' into the required front setback. Tributary branches of Moreau River exist on the east and north side of site. The garage buildout is proposed to connect to the north side of the existing garage. This 12' extension north is proposed to be 18.5' minimum from the tributary on the north side of the property. City stormwater regulations require a 30' setback from the ordinary high water mark of a drainage way. However, this required setback may be varied administratively by staff in low density residential situations. The Public Works Department has approved a reduced setback of 18.5' from the creek at the north side of the property for the proposed garage addition. FINDINGS REQUIRED The Zoning Code within the City Code outlines certain findings for review by the Board of Adjustment when variances are requested. The chart below lists the general required findings for variances. In addition, as this request is for a variance under the density and dimensional categorization, there are two questions for the Board of Adjustment to consider with respect to the specific variance request type. Such questions are found below above the chart. Within in the case packet, the applicant has provided responses to described required findings. Thus, in consideration of the request, the Board of Adjustment can review the following: General Findin s for All Variances Finding Staff Comments Not eliminate an adequate supply of light or The adjacent properties to the east would be air to adjacent property. separated from the proposed addition by the existing street and vegetation.

The existing adherence to the provisions of the zoning home and garage sit at an acute from the front regulations would cause the applicant an property line. unnecessary hardship. STAFF ANALYSIS The requested front setback variance would set the proposed garage at minimum 19' away from public right-of-way and 18.5' from the creek located on the north side of the site. With the angled position of the existing home and garage, the setback variance is an option to accommodate a garage expansion. Such garage buildout must conform to all applicable City Code standards. Presence of a main level garage/carport is a common feature in the surrounding residential area.

Page 2 of 10 Jefferson City Board of Adjustment Application Addendum A — Density and Dimensional Standards To be used for variance requests dealing with setbacks, lot width, or lot area. (Section 35-73.B.4.b and c.(1)) Property Address2009 Green Meadow Dr, Jefferson City, M® Applicant Name ®avid Lucas ®Verfelt Provide responses to the following required findings. State all reasons for your answer and use additional pages to complete your answer if necessary_ General Findings: 1. Would the proposed variance eliminate an adequate supply of light or air to the adjacent property? No. The distance between the two properties means that no shadow from a structure on my property can reach the adjacent property. Additionally, the narrow but thick stand of trees and brush blocks nearly all visibility, even in the winter. 2. Would the proposed variance substantially increase congestion on the public street? No. No additional inhabitants will be in the household. 3. Would the proposed variance increase the danger of fire or endanger the safety of the public? No. There will be additional structure to the house but it will be modern construction and built to all current fire codes. 4. Would the proposed variance be unduly injurious to the use and enjoyment of the adjacent property? No. The distance between the two properties means that no shadow from a structure on my property can reach the adjacent property. Additionally, the narrow but thick stand of trees and brush blocks nearly all visibility, even in the winter. Jefferson City Board of Adjustment Application Addendum A — Density and Dimensional Standards Page 2 5. Would the proposed variance substantially diminish property values in the neighborhood? No. I will stay architecturally consistent. The goal of this variance request is to increase my garage space while keeping the style of the house overall. 6. Would the proposed variance be in keeping with the general spirit and intent of the Zoning Code? Yes. Here the intent is to improve property value while maintaining the look and feel of the house in this neighborhood. Specific Findings: 1. Are there practical difficulties associated with the premises which under strict and literal adherence to the provisions of this chapter would cause an unnecessary hardship? Yes. The triangular shape of the lot, the presence of the creek running through the property, and the angle of the house relative to the street make it such that the setback requirements prevent me from extending the carport straight out.
