CITY OF AST GRAND RAPIDS NOTIC OF PUBLIC HARING A public hearing will be held on the application of Sears Architects on behalf of Matt and Alissandra Kruer, the owners of 2713 Reeds Lake Boulevard, S, for a zoning variance at that address. The purpose of the request is for relief from Section 5.282 of the ast Grand Rapids Zoning Ordinance to construct a single family home with a secondary front yard setback on this through lot of 90.5 feet instead of the more restrictive secondary front yard setback that is required in the ordinance. Compliance with the Zoning Ordinance as written does not yield a buildable area sufficient to construct a single family home. The application and plans may be viewed on the following pages or in person at the Public Works Administration office during business hours at the Community Center. The City Commission welcomes your views in this matter. You may express your views at the scheduled meeting or by writing to the Mayor and City Commission at 750 Lakeside Drive, S, ast Grand Rapids, Michigan 49506 or by email to the City Clerk at kbrower@eastgr.org. To be included in the hearing, written communications must contain the sender s name and address. If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact the undersigned at 940-4817, or tfaasse@eastgr.org.

SARS ARCHITCTS Architecture & Planning PROPOSD KRUR RSIDNC @ 2713 RDS LAK BLVD. 12/23/15 Variance Application NARRATIV STATMNT a. What you wish to do with the property. The new owners of 2713 Reeds Lake Blvd would like to build a roughly 4000 sq. ft. single family residence on their property. The home is planned to include a 3-car garage at the basement level. b. Why you need the variance. The variance is necessary for the new owners to build a medium-size home on their property. The through lot component of the current zoning ordinance prevents the owners from building even a small home on their property without variance approval. A significant portion of the existing smaller house (which was built many years before the section regarding through lots was added to the current zoning ordinance) lies outside the allowable building envelope. c. The specific decision you seek. Relief from Section 5.282 of the zoning ordinance, for a secondary front yard setback of 90-5 ½, in order to appropriately locate a portion of a proposed new two-story home on the property. d. The reason your project cannot be accomplished within the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Section 5.282 of the zoning ordinance prevents the building of a medium-sized home on the existing property. The current house on the property, though smaller than the proposed new home, was built prior to the purchase of additional property (by a previous owner) that fronted on Meadowvale Rd. This existing house was built with a much less restrictive rear yard setback than that which is imposed by the secondary front yard setback designation of the current zoning ordinance. If not for this section of the ordinance, the proposed new residence intends to be compliant with all zoning requirements. 16 Ionia Avenue SW Suite One Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 616.336.8495 fax 616.336.8499 searsarchitects.com
