APPLICATION NO.: ZV-01-28
REQUEST: A request by Mr. and Mrs. Sromek to allow a 5-foot side
setback where 10 feet is required in the R1-6 (Single
Residence) zoning district. The property is located at
6231 West Columbine Drive. Staff Contact: John
Fukasawa(Sahuaro District).
Mr. Fukasawa presented the application,reviewing the site and request.
Mr. Mike Sromek stated there are other sites that could hold the garage, however, they would
have to destroy their existing landscaping. He said his neighborhood, as well as two other
subdivisions in the area, have a combination of planned and custom homes with both two- and
three-car garages. He expressed his opinion that their request is not unusual or out of character
with the neighborhood. He noted some of his neighbors stopped by after the public meeting to
ask questions, however, he has not received any negative responses.
Commissioner Piceno asked Mr. Sromek if he spoke to the neighbor immediately to the east of
his property. Mr. Sromek stated he talked to that neighbor prior to moving forward with the
request. He said the neighbor was in favor of the request because the garage would provide
additional shade for his boat.
Chairperson Drew opened the meeting up for public comment on this case. As no comments
were made, he closed the public hearing portion of the case.
