CASE 1193
Location: 205 S.E. 21st Avenue
OWner: James D. Ford
Request: Application for a variance to construct a duplex without
required setbacks and under size lot.
Analysis: Mr. Ford is requesting the Board consider the following
exceptions to the building and site regulations of
Appendix A-Zoning Section 5 F.2. for the structure
located in the R-2 zoning district on the corner lot at
the above-referenced address:
- reduction in lot size from 9,000 square feet
(required) to 8,862 square feet (4,500 per dwelling
unit)
- reduction in the following required setbacks: rear
setback 25.0 feet to 20.12 feet, west side (corner)
12.5 feet to 11.5 feet, and front setback from 25.0
feet to 24.85 feet.
The request also includes changing the previously
approved use of the second floor of the garage (personal
storage only) to a dwelling unit. The requested changes
are in conjunction with modifying an existing single
family residence with detached two-story garage to
create a duplex (see attached survey and site plan).
Find attached Exhibit "A", a document prepared by the
applicant, which represents the statement of conditions
for the request. The following list is provided to
assist you in making your evaluation:
1. The site is located in the R-2 zoning district. The
site is a corner lot that has two existing
structures; single family residence that faces S.E.
21st Avenue and a two story garage that faces S.E.
1st Street.
2. June 14, 1976, the Board of Adjustment approved the
following request for the subject property: (see
attached Exhibit "B").
3. The second story, indicated in the 1976 case, has
been added to the garage building. However, the
construction has not received final approval by the
Building Department. On September 20, 1977, the
original permit was cancelled. Therefore, occupancy
of the building for personal storage is not allowed.
To occupy the building for personal storage, new
permits are required for the existing and proposed
work.
4. Mr. Ford is requesting to change the use of the
unfinished second story of the garage from personal
storage to a dwelling unit. The request also
includes the reduction of the aforementioned building
and site regulations. The objective of the request
is to attach the garage/dwelling unit structure to
the existing residential structure and to create a
duplex that will be considered legal with regards
to the applicable zoning regulations.

5. Reducing the setbacks will increase the size of the
building area of the lot. The building area is the
portion of the lot remaining after the setbacks have
been provided. Buildings may be placed in any part
of the building area, but limitations on the
percentage of the lot which may be covered by
buildings may require open space within the building
area. The maximum lot coverage for the subject lot
is 40 percent. The lot coverage identified on the
proposed site plan is 36 percent.
6. Two-family dwelling units (duplexes) are a permitted
use in the R-2 zoning district.
7. The zoning district and uses of the abutting
properties are as follows:
North - Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.), multi-
family condominiums
East - R-2 Single and Two-Family Dwelling District,
single family home
South - R-2, across S.E. 21st Avenue, single family
home
West - R-2, across S.E. 1st Street, duplex
