• JUNE 25, 2009 DANE COUNTY BOA PUBLIC HEARING STAFF COMMENTS 5. Appeal 3570 by Elizabeth Brey & Kenneth Kyburz for a variance from minimum side yard as provided by Section 10.07(7), Dane County Code of Ordinances, to permit deck addition to existing single-family residence at 3608 Holly Ridge Lane (also known as McVicter Street*), being Lots 25, 24 and South 1/2 of Lot 23, Block 2, Archibald Armstrong's Plat of London, Section 25, Town of Deerfield. (* Correction: McVicker Street on plat; also shown on county records as McVictor Street) OWNER: Elizabeth Brey & Kenneth Kyburz AGENT: Elizabeth Brey LOCATION: 3608 Holly Ridge Lane ZONING DISTRICT: R-3 Residential COMMUNICATIONS: 05/04/2009 Town of Deerfield Acknowledgment, signed by Town Chair, one Town Supervisor and two Town Planning Commission members; no Town Board Action to date 05/14/2009 Email from Sanitarian Jim Meyerhofer, City/County Health Dept., re: proposed deck at 3608 Holly Ridge Lane: "[A] proposed deck sit plan was submitted to me. I don't have a problem with it as long as it does not extend east of the addition toward the mound system." Facts of the Case: Existing: • Two and one-half lots in Archibald Armstrong's Plat of the unincorporated hamlet of London (recorded 1882) have 63.18 feet (62.5 feet as platted) of frontage on Holly Ridge Lane (shown as McVicter Street on the plat) and 7,373 SF (7,219 SF as platted) of lot area. (No Shoreland, Wetlands or Floodplain in the vicinity.) • The property includes a 2-story house facing Holly Ridge to the east. A detached garage is accessed by an Alley (a 16.5-foot-wide dedicated right-of-way) along the east lot line. • In September 2007: o A Zoning Permit was issued for a 1,056 square foot, 2-story addition to the house; o A Deed Restriction combining the 2-1/2 lots for zoning purposes was required, and was recorded; and o A new mound septic system was installed in the rear yard to accommodate the increased size of the house, with septic tank and pumping chambers located west of the detached garage. o The 22 foot x 24 foot addition at the rear of the house replaced part of the existing house. No verification survey was required, although the addition was 11+- feet from the north property line. Proposed • Because the new septic field is located east of the house, occupying most of the rear yard, the secondary access from the new addition was located on the north side of the house. • The owners wish to construct a 6.5 foot x 22 foot deck including steps along the north side of the addition. It would not extend beyond the north wall of the original house, or the east wall of the 2007 addition. • The proposal would meet all other setbacks and restrictions, including the maximum lot coverage of 35%; with the deck, lot coverage would be 29.8%. • The north wall of the existing house is not exactly parallel to the north or side lot line: The northwest corner is 4.23 feet from the side lot line, as shown on a 2007 survey; the northeast corner of the original house is 4.65 feet from the side lot line. VARIANCE REQUESTED: Purpose: Permit deck addition to existing single-family residence Side Yard Variance: Minimum north side yard setback required: 10 feet. Proposed setback from north lot line: 4.23 feet (using closest part of existing north house wall). VARIANCE NEEDED: 5.77 feet.
