Re: Proposed Decks
Dear Ms. Hibbs:
We have reviewed your survey and proposal to construct decks on the
front of your existing residence. we were quite surprised, as I'm sure you
were, to find that the platted right-of-way extends to within 34' of your
home. Because the front setback requirement is 50' in the RR-lB zoning
district, your proposed decks require a variance. I have enclosed the
appropriate application form which would have to be returned with the
proper fees and submittals by December 23 in order to be placed on the
January 20, 1987 Planning Commission agenda. The earliest final approval
by the City Council would be February 9, 1987.
I have also attached a scale drawing of the location of your septic
System. As it turns out, your drainfield appears to be entirely within the
right-of-way. Since this is a recent installation approved by the City
without knowing it was in the right-of-way, we have no intent at this time
to require its removal, especially since it occupies perhaps the only good
location (from a soils/topography standpoint) on your perceived property.
If at some future date the City proposes to widen or realign the road, at
that time you could expect a change in this policy. For the present, we
will only ask that you sign a hold-harmlesss agreement absolving the City
from any claims arising from work done by the City within its right-of-way.
Please contact me or Jeanne Mabusth at 473-7357 if you have any
questions.
