. - Dane County Board of Adjustment Minutes Page 10 of 13 May 28.2009 Expanding the kitchen and adding an entry and half-bath on the first floor; B) Enlarging a third bedroom for use as a master bedroom suite on the second floor; C) Adding a 16 foot x 22 foot great room addition to the rear (west) side of house on the first floor; and D) Adding a one-story covered front porch to access the living/dining area of the existing first floor. A small existing porch would remain to provide access to the main stairway, and is grandfathered. 4. Except for D), above, all proposed additions would meet all minimum setbacks and yards. 5. The existing house is 25.5 feet from the Dunkirk Avenue right-of-way. The proposed porch would be set back from the existing front wall of house 2.2 feet at 27.7 feet from the right-of-way. 6. Zoning staff worked with Ms. Bukrey since June 2008, with a resulting reduction of the variance request. Staff also noted the setback from right-of-way was 42 feet before 1990, when the road was a county highway. 7. Bukrey described hardships including: Rising topography, phone line, and wooded area including large oaks on the south side of the house; Request for reduced variance from original design; Historic status and location of the house; Benefit to public from improving house in compliance with current codes; Recent replacement of septic system in rear(west) yard. Conclusions: 1. Unnecessary Hardship: It would be unnecessarily burdensome to prevent improvement of a permitted residential use. The variance serves the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, and does not result in cumulative detrimental effects. 2. Unique Limitations of the Property: The road in front of the house changed from a County Highway to a Town road, which reduced the setback, and also reduced the amount of traffic on Dunkirk Avenue. The river behind the house, trees around it, and other existing features limit the possible locations for improvements. 3. No Harm to Public Interests: It is in the public interest to save and improve this historic house. The applicant has minimized her request. Motion carried: 5—0. 7. Appeal 3559 returning from the April 23, 2009 Public Hearing, with modifications: Appeal by Vetesnik Enterprises LLC (Hans Justeson, JSD Professional Services, Inc., agent) for variances from minimum required setback from delineated Wetlands boundary and minimum required setback from road as provided by Sections 11.06(5) and 10.17(1), Dane County Code of Ordinances, to permit new on-premise pylon sign for Mad City Power Sports as proposed at 4246 Daentl Road in the SE 1/4 SE 1/4 Section 5 and NE 1/4 NE 1/4 Section 8, Town of Burke.
