O OA -01 -01 — Erik Miller A request for review of a Variance to the Owasso Zoning
Code Chapter 2, Section 240.2e "Permitted Yard Obstructions" to allow for the 'location
of an accessory building in the side yard. The subject property is described as Lot 3,
Block 33, Elm Creek Estates First Addition and is located at 7713 N. 126 "' E. Avenue.
(Ward. 3)
Donna described the case to the Board Members. Donna presented copies of a letter,
from Mr. John Westin, a nearby property owner, that was in favor of the variance
(attached). She explained that while the storage shed was being constructed. the Code
Enforcement Officer informed Mr. Miller that accessory building must be located in the
rear yard of the property. The applicant completed the structure and is now requesting a
variance to allow the shed to remain in the side yard. Legal notification was published
and letters were mailed to surrounding property owners. Donna also explained that the
Enforcement Officer had a compliant from a neighbor on the storage shed in November
2000 and a letter was sent to Mr. Miller at that time stating that the accessory building
needed to be moved to the rear yard. In addition to the shed being in the side yard, it is
within the 5' side yard setback. Mr. Miller was present and requested a brief presentation
to the Members. He stated that the shed is less conspicuous in the side yard and that it
would be difficult to fit in the rear yard. Mr. Miller had spoke with his neighbor prior to
construction and they had no objections. Utility locations were discussed briefly.
The Owasso Zoning Code states a variance may be granted upon a finding that:
L The application of the ordinance to the particular piece of property would
create an unnecessary hardship,
1 Such conditions are peculiar to the particular piece of property involved and
3. Relief, if granted, would not cause substantial detriment to the public good, or
impair the purposes and intent of the ordinance or the Comprehensive Plan,
Staff recommends denial on the grounds of the applicant not meeting the prescribed
requirements listed above.
Vicki Tapp moved to deny the variance that would allow the placement of the storage
building outside the required rear yard but granted the applicant a variance on the 5' side
yard setback in the rear yard, The motion also includes the storage building to be moved
to the rear yard within 60 days of this meeting. Jim Igarta seconded the motion. A vote
