Adoption of Resolution Number 2016-16; Removal of 6622 N 40th St from Hillside Designation
Body
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution 2016-16 removing the hillside designation on 6622 N 40th St (APN 169-51-007)
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2014 Mr Brandon Dale erected a fence along the eastern side of a 404 wash through his property. He also erected corral fencing at the southwest corner of his property. Even though this lot is designated as Hillside, no application to the Hillside Building Committee was made. No building permit was applied for either. Because of the proximity of the corral to the property line, it would not have been approved.
In 2015 he relocated and expanded the corral to the northwest corner of his lot, added a bridge across the wash, constructed a mare motel and a shed at the southwest corner of the lot. Again all this work was done without Hillside Building Committee or building permit approval. The shed does not meet the minimum setbacks required.
Since fences (and corrals) are not allowed on Hillside lots, Mr Dale decided that the removal from Hillside designation is the preferable option as the lot is relatively flat. This will allow him to keep the corral and fencing and to relocate the shed to meet the setbacks. He will have to make an application to the Corps of Engineers to have them review the bridge across the “404” wash. Mr Dale has written a letter committing to getting permits and inspections for all the structures built without permits.
This property has a slope of less than 10%. Properties with slopes of less than 10% are eligible for removal from the Hillside designation. By voting to remove 6642 N 40th St from the Hillside designation, the property will be able to have a corral and fences and will no longer be in violation of the Town Code.
