Weir Creek Dr. Respectfully; Kyle Buzzell Superintendent John Flaherty President John Flaherty Construction Inc., JUN 18 '01 12:31 2083455599 PAGE.02 June 12, 2001 Meridian City Council 33 East Idaho Meridian, Idaho 83642 Re: File No. VAR 01-005, John Flaherty Construction Dear Mayor & City Councilmen: In John Flaherty's letter to the city, he states that he cannot comply with the fifteen -foot setback because the house in question is already constructed. He states that the contractor accidentally started their measurement from a three-foot witness property pin, not knowing it was a witness property pin. We have a hard time with this explanation because of the fact that John Flaherty has built several homes in Thousand Springs. Did he not know that fact for all those other homes he built previously? It states in the Thousand Springs Convenants, Conditions, and Restrictions that "the front lot line is located approximately two feet into the side walk with a twenty foot setback from the sidewalk and that it is a specific requirement of the City of Meridian and a specific building restriction herein that all dwelling units be set back twenty feet from the back (lot side) of the sidewalk." The plat is clearly marked with the circle around the square for the witness property pins. When talking with the engineering firm that surveyed Thousand Springs, they told me that a lot of sub -divisions are using the witness property pins now. John Flaherty is a well-known builder in this valley, as shown by the fact that he is the President of the Parade of Homes this year. Mr. Flaherty's further explanation states that ice and dirt were part of the reason that he couldn't find any pins. You all know of our drought situation because of the lack of snow this winter. We doubt it would have been too hard to find a pin, not to mention they have marked the concrete sidewalks to show where the pins are located, Further, we don't understand why they didn't use the rear property pins for measurements. Let alone the fact that all of the lots line up in back for fence purposes. Each lot has identifying purple and blue stakes at the rear of the lots. That should have helped them in their measurements, as well. One of the rear property pins was visible until his excavators buried it with five feet of dirt. John Flaherty states that his home meets setback requirements. Yet, Don at the Public Works Department told me that the roofed patio portion of a house is included to meet the setback requirement. It is classified as an architectural projection. And as far as the easement requirement goes, if the house is left standing as is, the City of Meridian or a utility company will tear up more of our lot if needed in an emergency situation. So, it becomes more of a burden for us to bear. Mr. Flaherty states he wants to help protect the neighborhood property values, yet whoever buys that house is going to get sit out on their patio and stare straight into our fence when we build it. What value does that give our home for any prospective buyer to look out our backyard and see this house against the fence? From our viewpoint it will look like our fence has a roof on it. It's an eyesore to those of us around it. You should see the prospective buyers mouths drop open when they turn the corner to the back of the house to find that there is no back yard. We are trying to figure out what kind of trees to plant at the back of our lot to hide that house. Requirements are put in place for builders to follow them. The City of Meridian should see to it that they do follow those requirements. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully, Larry & Andrea Stockton 2430 E.

Since T will not be able to attend the public hearing on June 5, 2001 for the above referenced matter, I am requesting that this, letter be read into the records at that meeting. It has been my understanding ftit building codes and regulations have been established by various Idaho cities and counties for the purpose of controlling and regulating the, building industry. I know from first hand experience that dleridian is one of these cities because while helping my daughter and son -iii -law, Who live in Meridian, build a family room addition, I wasinvolvedirt building permits and inspections Wbicli included an actual measurement of side and Year property setbacks. These setbacks were verified before our actual construction was begun. I road it ludicrous to believe that a builder of Jol-iii Flaherty's stature, President of the 2001 Parade of Hornes, was riot fully aware that he was in violation of the rear property setback when the property was being marked for excavation. Now, atter the completion of the home, comes John Flaherty, not on his ovai volition, but after being discovered by a neighbor, to request a variance ftout the City of Meridian. It is my belief that if John. Flaherty, President of the 2001 Parade of Homes, is not held to a higher standard because of his position among his peers, then he must at least be held to the standards as set by the City of Meridian, I'liese, miriimum standards require a 15 foot rear property setback unless a variance is requested by the builder and approved by the City of Meridian prior to the coiYdnencement of construction. I feet tbat the City of Meridimi must take some form of disciplinary action against John Flaherty Construction, Inc. -to assure that fixture flagrant abuses of the building codes will not, be attempted.

(File No. VAR -01-005) We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY The applicant has requested a variance from the City's minimum yard setback requirements, specifically section 11-9-1, which requires a 15 -foot rear yard setback in an R-4 zone. The reason that the applicant is requesting a variance is due to the fact that the contractor who poured the foundation for the home measured the front setback incorrectly and poured the foundation 3'- 6" farther back from the front property pin than originally planned. The home is now built and the covered patio is now situated 3'-6" into the required 15 -foot rear setback. The applicant does not want to remove the covered patio in order to comply with City Code and is now seeking a variance to allow the non -complying structure to remain. LOCATION The subject property is located at 2421 E. Weir Creek Drive in Thousand Springs Subdivision. The subdivision is located at the corner of S. Brandy Jewel Avenue and E. Victory Road. The entire subdivision is zoned R-4. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North — Single-family dwelling, zoned R-4. South — Single-family dwelling, zoned R4. East — Single-family dwelling, zoned R-4. West -- Single-family dwelling, zoned R-4. Flaherty.Var.doo VAR -01-005 Mayor and Council June 1, 2001 Page 2 According to Ordinance 11-18-1, Variances, the Council may authorize in specific cases a variance from the terms of either the Zoning or Subdivision Ordinance. Specifically, the Ordinance lists the following Findings, all of which must be determined before granting a variance: A. That there are such special circumstances or conditions affecting the property that the strict application of the provisions of this Title would clearly be impracticable or unreasonable; Staff finds that a contractor made a mistake; however, this does not make the application of this code unreasonable. In an ideal world, the mistake would have been caught prior to reaching this point in construction. Unfortunately, it wasn't and now the strict application of this section of Code (11-9-1) may be unreasonable if the city requires the homeowner to tear down an existing structure that was built in good faith. B. That strict compliance with the requirements of this Title would result in extraordinary hardship to the owner, subdivider or developer because of unusual topography, the nature or condition of adjacent development, other physical conditions or other conditions that make strict compliance with this Title unreasonable under the circumstances, or that the conditions and requirements of this Title will result in inhibiting the achievements or the objectives of this Title; Staff finds that the lot does not possess any unusual topography, physical condition or other condition that would have made compliance with the setback requirements difficult or impossible. The contractor created the hardship by making a mistake in measuring the proper setback distances. C. That the granting of the specified variance will not be detrimental to the public's welfare or injurious to other property in the area in which the property is situated; Staff finds that the variance will not be detrimental to the public's welfare. Granting the variance may or may not be injurious to other property in the area. Council should refer to any public testimony offered concerning whether or not the surrounding property owners feel that the variance will affect their properties. D. That such variance will not have the effect of altering the interest and purpose of this Title and the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. VAR -01-M Flahuty.Vandoo Mayor and Council June 1, 2001 Page 3 Staff finds that the issuance of a variance for this project will violate the intent and purpose of the Meridian City Code and the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the section 11-9-1 of the City Code is to ensure that minimum setbacks are established in all zones in order to improve the appearance, safety and uniformity of development. Staff finds that the applicant does not meet the criteria for being granted a variance as listed in the Meridian City Code. Additionally, the variance request does not satisfy the State Statute (§ 67-6517) that governs the issuance of variances. The State requires that a variance "be granted to an applicant only upon showing of undue hardship because of characteristics of the site and that the variance is not in conflict with the public interest". There is no special problem associated with this property other than a mistake that was made by a contractor, Staff does not dispute that the accident was made honestly; however, the contractor created the hardship and staff feels that a variance should not be issued for a contractor -created hardship.

Weir Creek Dr in Meridian. Here is a concise description of our urgent situation and our need to seek a three-foot, six-inch variance: Variance application item No. 1 -- attached Variance application item No. 2 -- attached Variance application item No. 3 -- attached Variance application item No. 4 -- attached Variance application item No. 5 -- we are requesting a three-foot, six-inch variance to the Meridian Zoning Ordinance, rear yard setback. The ordinance identifies a rear yard setback of 15 feet. We are asking for an 11 -foot, six-inch rear yard setback. Variance application item No. 6 -- the reason we cannot comply with 15 -foot rear yard setback is because our home is already 1 constructed. The back of our existing outdoor covered patio is located 11 -foot, six -inches from our rear property line. When our home foundation was constructed during December 2000, the contractor accidentally started their measurement from a three foot offset witness property pin. The actual property pin is covered by the concrete sidewalk -that follows the street and is separated by a mow strip. Because Thousand Springs Subdivision has a separated sidewalk with a mow strip in between, the real property pins are located in the sidewalk. Some are not. The subdivision surveyors installed three foot offset witness pins near the sidewalk as an additional measuring point. These witness pins are the exact same pin and colored cap as all the property pins located through out the entire Boise Valley and Meridian City Subdivisions. As you can understand, having several survey pins all the same type and color near each other is very confusing. Due to confusion over which pin was our correct property marker, an incorrect measurement was take. Now our house is 3 -foot, 6 -inches closer to the rear property line because of an accidental miss -measurement from the wrong pin. This was an honest mistake, which occurred during frozen ground and snowy weather. Our actual home is well within the setback but our outdoor covered patio penetrates into the rear yard setback by 3 - feet, six inches. Variance application item No. 7 -- the Meridian Zoning Ordinance requires a 15 -foot rear yard setback. Our existing covered patio penetrates the rear yard setback by three-foot, six -inches. This is not an error we intentionally created but it now affects our home and neighborhood. We are respectfully requesting that the Meridian City Council approve an 11 -foot, 6 -inch rear yard setback for our patio as a result of the mismeasurement situation. Variance application item No. 8 -- if our three-foot, six-inch variance request is denied, we will have to dismantle the covered patio, alter the roofline and remove the concrete patio pad in order to relocate the bearing points which are poured under the concrete pad. This will ruin the appearance and function of our home roofline and covered patio. Our home will be devalued and this would be a negative factor not only to our home but to our neighborhood as well. Variance application item No. 9 -- the Meridian Zoning Ordinance sets the actual home structure at the 15 -foot rear yard setback. In this case, our home is located about 28 -feet from the back property line (except one small jog in the back about 12'x 8', see attached plot plan), so our home itself definitely complies with the setback line. Unfortunately, our outdoor patio extends 3 -foot, six -inches closer to the rear lot line as listed in the City's zoning ordinance. Because our actual home setback complies with the zoning ordinance, we are asking for a variance to keep our covered patio intact and prevent demolition of our outdoor patio and roofline. The three-foot, six-inch variance is for the patio and patio roofing only, not for the home structure. Variance application item No. 10 -- our subdivision, Thousand Springs development, has separated sidewalks with property pins located underneath the concrete sidewalk. During sidewalk construction, surveyors set three-foot offset witness pins of the same color and type as the real property pins. These pins being the same color and type set in the entire Boise Valley and Meridian City Subdivisions became somewhat confusing to many builders trying to figure out which pin to use for setting the foundation layout. When our home was constructed, the sidewalk was covered with dirt and ice plus there was construction debris in the area. Unfortunately, the only pin our concrete contractor could locate was the three-foot offset witness pin. He believed that this pin was the correct measurement marker based on other measurements he made at adjoining households. Unfortunately, this was not the correct pin and our house was constructed with a three-foot error. Variance application item No. 11 -- because our actual home is well within the 15 -foot rear setback and only the outdoor covered patio has a three-foot, six-inch location error, we are requesting that the Meridian City Council approve this variance request. We want to have a functional and attractive patio just like our neighbors. If we have to demolish our patio and roofline, it will devalue our property and property values in our neighborhood. A partial patio and altered roofline would be unattractive for our neighbors and us. Variance application item No. 12 -- the company that installed our concrete foundation made this mistake by measuring from the wrong 3 survey pin. However, we now understand this was an honest mistake caused in part by too many confusing survey pins and frozen ground conditions. Variance application item No. 13 -- this variance does not constitute a special privilege. We are trying to prevent loss of property value to our home and the neighborhood. We want to preserve a functional and attractive roofline on our house and patio structure, which will also preserve the attractiveness of our neighborhood. Variance application item No. 14 -- we are not requesting this variance for profit, or for convenience. We are requesting this variance to preserve the property values in our neighborhood and keep our outdoor patio functional and attractive for the neighbors and for ourselves. Variance application item No. 15 -- the Meridian Comprehensive Plan policies indicate that the City will take necessary steps to protect neighborhood property values, preserve neighborhood investment and encourage attractive development. Our variance application is supported by the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and complies with the Land Use, Housing, Community Design and Implementation chapters of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Variance application item No. 16 -- attached Variance application item No. 17 -- attached Variance application item No. 18 -- attached Variance application item No. 19 — attached Variance application item No. 20 — attached Variance application item No. 21 — attached Variance application item No. 22 — will deliver notarized statement to Zoning Administrator when the said property has been posted. 0 Please schedule our variance hearing at your earliest convenience. We are unable to close this property transaction because of this situation so naturally we are very concerned and hope you can approve this three-foot, six-inch (3'6") variance request.
