Home My WebLink AboutAlternative ComplainceOctober 22, 2014 Mr. Daniel Van Duzor 871 E. Handel Street Meridian, ID 83646 RE: 1105 N. Meridian Road (ALT -14-012) Dear Mr. Van Duzor: Mayor Tammy de Weerd City Council Members: Keith Bird Brad Hoaglun Charles Rountree David Zaremba This letter is to confirm the Director approved your request for alternative compliance to Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 11-3C-6 for the subject property based on the required findings listed in UDC 11 -5B -5E as follows: 1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements are not feasible; or The UDC (Table 11-3C-6) requires a total of (4) off-street parking spaces to be provided for 2 -bedroom single-family dwellings (at least 2 in an enclosed garage; other space may be enclosed or a minimum 10 foot by 20 foot parking pad). Because of the widening off. Meridian Road by the Ada County Highway District, the applicant is no longer able to access his garage from N. Meridian Road due to a retaining wall along the front of his property. The garage is not accessible from the alley at the rear of the property because living area exists between the garage and rear of the home. For these reasons, the Director finds that strict adherence to the parking requirements listed in UDC 11-3C-6 is not feasible. 2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements; and As an alternative to the parking requirements stated above, the applicant proposes the following: 1) a crushed asphalt parking pad capable of parking (2) vehicles at the rear of his property accessed via the alley; 2) approximately 90 lineal feet of on - street parking exists along the south side of his property adjacent to E. Carlton Avenue; and a Valley Regional Transit stop exists approximately 0.4 of a mile from .his property at Pine Avenue and 1" Street. The Director finds the proposed alternatives provide an equal means for meeting the requirements. Community Development Department - Planning Division • 33 E. Broadway Avenue, Meridian, ID 83642 Phone 208-884-5533 Fax 208-888-6854 www.meridiancity.org 3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties. The Director finds the alternative means of parking proposed with this application will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of surrounding properties. The applicant, Director, or a party of record may request City Council review of a decision of the Director. All requests for review shall be filed in writing with the Planning Division of the Community Development Department on or before November 6, 2014, within fifteen (15) days after the written decision is issued, and contain the information listed in UDC 11 -5A -6B. If City Council review of the decision is not requested, the action of the Director represents a final decision on a land use application. You have the right to request a regulatory taking analysis under Idaho Code 67-8003. Thank you for contributing to the success of Meridian. Please help us serve you better in the future.

Due to reconstruction of Meridian Rd the front access into the garage has been eliminated from this property. There is approximately 120 usable square feet between the garage and the back entry into the house. From the back of the house the entry breezeway/Mud Room is approximately 80 sgrft and leads into the Laundry Room and Pantry (approx. 40 sgrft) which leads into the garage or kitchen. It is not my desire to reverse the garage access to the back of the property and lose this usable living space. Alternative parking considerations; • There is a parking pad of crushed asphalt behind the house large enough to park 2 automobiles. • There is approximately 90 feet of street parking available on East Carlton on the south side of the house. • Valley Regional Transit is 0.4 miles or approximately a 9 minute walk away. I am asking the Planning Division to approve the removal of the garage door to match the exterior remodel plan to update and beautify the property. Thank you for your consideration. Daniel J.
