f <br /> s <br /> Board of Adjustment Minutes May 25, 2017 <br /> 1. Appeal 3682. Appeal by Jack Lazzaro and Georgia Stone-Lazzaro, (D. <br /> Clarke Sugar, Axley Brynelson, LLP, agent) for a variance from <br /> minimum required setback to a side yard as provided by Section <br /> 10.07(7), Dane County Code of Ordinances, to permit a single family <br /> residence to be rebuilt on an existing foundation at 3392 Quam Drive <br /> being Lot 10 of the Addition to Ole J. Quam's Park plat, Section 25, <br /> Town of Dunn. <br /> Assistant Zoning Administrator(AZA) Hilbert presented a Staff Report reporting facts of <br /> the case. <br /> IN FAVOR: Clarke Sugar, agent for owner, spoke in favor of the variance request. <br /> ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: The Zoning Administrator stated that a <br /> variance, if granted, would preserve the existing development pattern and protect the <br /> existing ecosystem. He requested that a condition be placed on the variance, if <br /> granted, that the western foundation not be disturbed. <br /> OPPOSED: [None. The Chair stated no rebuttal was needed.] <br /> Facts of the Case: <br /> Existing: <br /> •Existing use of the property is the primary residence of the owners.An oak tree on the <br /> property is believed to be 400+1-years old. <br /> •Lot was created as part of the Addition to Ole J. Quam's Park plat in 1897. <br /> •Lot 10 and a portion of lot 9 have been in common ownership(by deed)since 1988. <br /> The combination of the lots are treated as a zoning lot for regulatory purposes. <br /> Proposed: <br /> •Owners would like to rebuild a significant portion of the residence to include a second <br /> story and an attached garage. They're proposal uses the existing foundation. <br /> Zoning Notes: <br /> •R-3 zoning requires a 10 foot side yard setback on each side. No permitting <br /> information was found related to the existing residence or garage on the property;it is <br /> assumed to predate zoning regulations. <br /> History: <br /> • 1980:permit issued for boathouse, but was not built and expired <br /> •2015:permit to replace detached garage foundation <br /> •2016:shoreland permit to replacement of retaining wall <br /> • Violation History:No violation history was found. <br /> COMMUNICATIONS: <br /> Town of Dunn March 28, 2017 acknowledgement.Action:May 15, 2017 recommending <br /> approval. <br /> Conclusions: <br /> 1) Unnecessary Hardship:It would be unnecessarily burdensome on the owners to <br /> not be allowed to continue to use their property and existing foundation in the way they <br /> have proposed. <br /> 2) Unique Limitations of the Property: The structure on the property and the platted <br /> lots predate zoning regulations. A variance allows the property owners to conform to <br /> the shoreland standards and have continued use of the property as configured. <br /> 3) No Harm to Public Interests: The variance will protect the natural resources and <br /> ecosystem within the neighborhood. Using the existing foundation will allow the <br /> preservation of the root system to the mature trees on the property. The proposed <br /> structure will not encroach any more than existing conditions. <br /> VARIANCES REQUESTED:Purpose:Allow use of existing foundation to rebuild and <br /> expand single family reisidence. <br /> Dane County Page 2 Printed on 6/1/2017 <br />
