Regarding: Baggaley Residence Variance Request
Location:
4352 Spruce Way, #5
Vail, CO 81657
HBM Townhouses Parcel 5
Parcel No: 2101-122-20-005
The Variance Request is to replace an existing deck that encroaches into the side yard setback and drainage & utility easement. The new deck is proposed to encroach into the setback
and easement not more than the existing deck currently does. The extent of the deck will be increased to the east and west, parallel to the easement, to create a larger, more useable
deck.
The drainage and utility easement is 8’-0”. The original side yard setback was 10’-0”. There have been changes in the zoning code since the structure was originally built and is now
20’-0”.
The request is to allow the original setback to be used in consideration of the encroachment of the new deck. Original and current zoning codes both allow for an on-grade deck to encroach
into the side yard setback not more than one-half (1/2) the distance of the setback. The original deck conformed to the zoning code and did not encroach more than 5’-0” into the 10’-0”
setback.
The new deck is proposed to encroach, to the face of framing, into the easement 2’-6” and into the original setback 4’-6”, or 14’-6” into the current setback. With the application of
finish materials and railings the deck will not encroach more than 3’-0” into the easement and 5’-0” into the original setback, or 15’-0” into the current setback. The foundation piers
supporting the deck will be located outside of the easement and the portion of the deck that encroaches into the easement will be cantilevered above ground.
When the building was originally constructed it conformed to the then current zoning code. The existing building footprint does not encroach into the original setback or easement. Since
the setback changes in the zoning code, the existing building footprint is encroaching into the setback. There is also a proposed addition to the existing building, which also does
not encroach into any setbacks or easements.
Following are pictures of the existing building and deck;
