Curtis Poole, Assistant City Planner Address: 1233 East Sunrise Place BOUNTIFUL EST.1892 June 18, 2019 Description of Request The applicants, Jason and Amanda Keir, have requested a variance to allow for retaining walls greater than 10 feet in height for their property located at 1233 East Sunrise Place in thel R-F (Residential Foothill) zone. The proposed variance would allow for construction of ar new home on this vacant property. Authority Section 14-2-111 authorizes the. Administrative Committee as the review body for variance requests within the R-Fzone related to retaining walls exceeding 10 feeti in height. Section 14-2-104 authorizes the Chairman oft the Administrative Committee to assign any item designated for Administrative Committee review to the Planning Commission, in which case the Planning Commission acts under the same authority granted to the Administrative Committee. Background and Analysis: In1 1985 Sunset Hollow subdivision Plat A was approved. The applicant's property, 1233 East Sunrise Place, or lot 15, was part of the approved subdivision. As the subdivision was developed, Sunrise Place was graded and a fill slope was constructed for the west side of the cul-de-sac, resulting in a steeper slope than the natural grade at the front oft the property from the road. The property to the north, a detention pond owned by the United States Government, was constructed after the subdivision was approved. Lot 15 has The applicants have submitted a proposal for a new home to be built on their property. With the steepness oft the downward slope the applicants needed to address the reverse grading oft the driveway, disturbing slopes greater than 30% and the height oft the retaining walls. The slopes which exceed 30% are limited to the fill slope associated with the construction oft the cul-de-sac. This is not a naturally occurring feature oft the property. The challenge for the applicants, similar to others in the R-F: zone, was to balance all three oft these concerns. In their design, the applicants were able to reduce the downward slope oft the driveway; however, it still requires a retaining wall taller than 10 feet. The wall is roughly 17 feet at the highest point. Because the wall is taller than the 10 foot minimum remained vacant since creation oft the subdivision. standard in code it is necessary for the applicants to apply for a variance. Ift the variance is denied, it would create a situation where the slope of the driveway would not meet standards and would require a variance. Variance Findings Utah Code 10-9a-702 establishes the criteria for review ofa variance request and stipulates the applicant "shall bear thel burden of proving that all oft the conditions justifyinga variance have been met." In order to grant a variance each oft the following criteria must be () Literal enforcement ofthe ordinance would cause an unreasonable hardship for the applicant thati is not necessary to carry out the general purpose ofthe land use met: ordinances; Staff Response: State law defines a hardship as 'associated with and peculiar to the property itself," and further: states thel hardship "cannot be self-imposed or economic."A steep reverse, grade driveway was necessary to access the buildable portion oft the lot.. As Sunrise Place cul-de-sac was, graded and constructed it created slopes greater than 30% on Lot 15 and a steeper transition from the road to thel lot. The addition of Sunrise Place should not be considered self-imposed hardship created by the applicants. (ii) There are special circumstances attached to the property that do not generally apply Staff Response: Many of the properties in the R-F zone. have similar constraints as the applicant's) property which limit the buildable area and require steep driveways, tall retaining walls and disturbances ofs slopes greater than 30%. The applicant's property is unique however, because unlike many other properties, the slopes greater than 30% are not the natural slope and were created during the construction oft the subdivision. In other words, granting the grading of Sunrise Place created a unique circumstance that only (ii) Granting the variance is essential to the pmentofasuhstanta. property right Staff Response: Other properties in the R-F zone with buildable lots have been allowed some reasonable disturbances oft the slopes greater than 30%, and the need to create steep driveways and tall retaining walls. The slopes disturbed by the construction oft the home is not a natural condition, and is a feature associated with the construction oft the cul-de-sac. Granting the variance will allow the applicants to enjoy similar property rights possessed by others in the R-F: zone. Denying the variance will allow other properties ai right not (iv) The variance will not substantially affect the general plan and will not be contrary to to other properties in the. same zone; affects this property. possessed by other property in the same zone; extended to the applicant's property. the public interest; Staff Response: Approval ofa a variance fort the applicants will not havea as substantial effect to the General Plan as other properties in the R-F: zone are treated similarly regarding steep slopes and retaining walls. Iti is an interest to the City to have all buildable lots developed as (v) The spirit ofthe land use ordinance is observed and substantial, justice done Staff Response: Thej purpose of the land use ordinance that requires improvements be located on slopes less than 30% is to preserve the hills and manage runoffand erosion on properties located in the foothills. The Code anticipates that there are existing lots with special circumstances and that the variance process provides a way for those lots to be developed. However, Section 14-4-101 ofthe Code also stipulates that the alteration of sensitive lands should be the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable use oft the property. The proposal submitted by the applicants, demonstrate they have made substantial efforts to minimize the impact construction will have on the slopes oft their opposed to remaining vacant. property. Department Review The request has been reviewed by the City Planner, City Engineer, and City Attorney Recommended Action Based on analysis of the required criteria from State law included in the findings above and the materials submitted by the applicant, staff recommends approval oft the requested variance related to retaining walls greater than 10 feet with the following condition: 1. The applicants will continue to work with staff to ensure the final plans submitted will meet the standards for building in the R-F: zone, inj particular reducing the downward slope of the driveway and show reasonable impact to slopes greater than 30% and final heights ofretaining walls.

SALTLAKECITY, UT84111 - E PROETSEARCRIOCOM, T8013209773 Subject: THE KIER RESIDENCE Project ID: R-4896A-19 Project Narrative Tuesday, May 28, 2019 Project Location: 1233 E SUNRISE PLACE, BOUNTIFUL, UTAH ARCFLO was asked to evaluate the existing grading of the property located at 1233 East Sunrise Place, and assist in developing a design solution for a private residence that would be sensitive to the existing land use ordinance of the RF Single-Family Residential Foothill Zone. In working through the various options we have encountered a primarly difficult hardship related to the 16% cross-slope found along the south property line and Sunrise Place road. The hardship related to this cross-slope creates a series of impacts which make it difficult to comply with the general design constraints outlined by the current zoning ordinance for the RF Single-Family Residential Foothill Zone. As we have found in working on this project, the literal enforcement of the ordinance would cause additional unreasonable hardships as that would require making unsound and unsafe compromises with driveway grades to marginally reduce retention wall heights and possibly make adjustments to the existing street and sidewalk to overcome the current 16% cross-slope associated with the approach and frontage of the subject property. As shown in the illustration below, one of special circumstances attached to the property which do not generally apply to other properties in this zone is the existing 16% cross slope along the south property line. This Circumstance is the result from the original cutting and grading of Sunrise Place road. The agressive 16% cross-slope creates a grading condition which impacts the efficiency to achieve a driveway that would descend more agressively as an attempt to lower the overall building height and lowering the height of the necessary retention walls. Another special circumstance associated to this property is the grading that was created when a change of grade occured near the north boundary of the property when the man-made reservoir was introduced to the neighborhood some years ago. Had this reservoir not been required fort the community, the grading of this particular site could have been successfully modified to reduce the overall slope. PROPOSED RESIDENCE 16% CROSS-SLOPE E SUNRISE PLACEF ROAD figure.1.01 PROPERTY RIGHTS The basic property right that we are working to provide onsite, which has become difficult to provide because of the aforementioned 16% cross-slope on the driveway. is that of private. secured storage. This use of storage is intended for vehicles and other common items related to home ownership In order top provide the basic property right of secured storage and have it be safely and reasonably accessible. will require consideration of a variance related to retention walls taller than 101 ft.. in height. In addition. in order to achieve safe access to garage and residence. the variance related to changes of grade located within areas on the property which have existing grades greater than 30% would need to be: considered in order to overcome the challenges created by the 16% cross-slope created by Sunrise Place road (e. the South Property Line).

EPOECTSPARGROCV. - T.801320.9773 Project Narrative Continued... Based on the unique circumstances found on this property, the granting of the requested variances for this should NOT substantially affect the general plan. In addition, because of the vast distance between the subject property and the nearest adjacent lot which has a direct view being over 2,000 feet away, there really are no site lines that would directly In following the spirit of the land use ordinance and balancing the remaining reasonable options afforded by the specific site conditions, various design solutions have been incorporated as a result of the design team's sensitivity to the intent of the land use ordinance and the design constraints defined within said ordinance. For example, the proposed grading and retention on the majority oft the site has been designed with a terracing strategy sO as to reduce the visibility of the proposed retaining walls from adjacent properties. This strategy provides an opportunity for vegetation and landscaping to buffer the potential public views to these walls. In addition, any proposed retention walls that exceed 10 feet in height have been designed in a manner which allows the ability to provide landscape screening tor reduce their visibility from the public view. All of this has been done in observation of the current land use ordinance in an effort to design the structure to work cohesively with the natural terrain in a manner that will reduce the overall With the primary hardship being the extreme 16% cross-slope which is found at the transition of the drive approach and Sunrise Place road, it is worth noting that this transition is indeed associated with the property for which the variance is sought. The condition certainly impacts the site and produces a situation that is worthy of considering a request for the aforementioned variences related to retention wall heights exceeding 10 feet in height and retention As illustrated, the circumstances outlined above are indeed specific to this property. and are not in any way demonstrative of the general conditions of the neighborhood. In addition, the proposed design solutions whichi incorporate the special circumstances have a direct correlation to the hardship caused by the 16% cross-slope as Ins summary, should this variance not be granted. the primary privilege and property right which would be deprived is the ability to have a driveway that is safely accessible which provides access to secured storage as an enclosed garage which is attached to the primary structure This privlege and feature of secured residential storage is commonly Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter.
