An earthen be,rTI planted with evergreen shrubs which will form a six (6)-foot continuous screen within two (2) years; or C. A five (5)-foot high or taller fence. Alternatively, the plan may provide another combination of screening elements that provide the same level of screening. T; c applicant must construct or plant the required screening prior to issuance of building permits. SECTION Ili. BACKGROUND INFOPMATION Site Histo : The subject property is developed with a detached single-family residence. The house was built with a cantilevered kitchen nook that was never reviewed by the City Building Division. It appears that the nook wa:: poorly constructed and is now significantly slanting. In order to rectify the problem, the applicant has proposed constructing a stem wall to support the structure. The location of the nook, however, is extending three (3) feet into the rear yard setback. The applicant has requested this variance in order to make the existing setback violatir- ',,,gal arid in order to construct the stem wall in an effort to correct G,e sloping of the ,a, Revered nook. Upon receiving approval for this variance, the applicant will apply f; - the necessary building permits to construct the stem wall. Proposal Description: The property owner has proposed a flexible setback variance to encroa:h into the rear yard setback for three (3) feet of the 15-foot rear ya:d setback minimum requirement. This flexible setback variance permits an encroachment of up to 20 of the minimurn setback requirement. SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNIT" DLVELOPMENT CODE SECTION& NOTICE OF DECISION VAR 98.0001 -TIBBETTS FLEXIBLE SETBACK VARIANCE PAGE 2 OF 5 Section 18.146.050 allows the Director to approve, of approve with conditions, a request for a Flexible Setback Variance in order to reduce required setbacks by up to 2090 within the front yard, side yard, corner side yard and rear yard based on the following findings: The reduction of the setback area established by the applicable zoning district shall be necessary to allow for the enlargement or remodeling of an existing building. The reduction is needed to allow the applicant to construct a stem wall to add support to the cantilevered nock and to make the existing encroachment lec,al so as to avoid potential re-sale problems in the future. The garage setback to the front property line satisfies the requirements of the .applicable zoning district. The variance involves the rear yard setback, therefore, this standard does not apply. The standards of Chapter 18.102, Visual Clearance, shall be satisfied. The variance does not involve portions of the property that are either within, or adjoining. a Visual Clearance area as defined by the Community Development Code. Therefore, this standard does not apply. The resulting lot coverage shall not exceed the maximum lot coverage of the base zone. The R-4.5 Zoning District does not have a maximum lot coverage req-airemcnt, therefore, this standard does not apply. The proposed building or addition shall not encroach upon any existing easements. Staff consulted the Benchview Subdivision plat to determine if the proposal would encroach into any platted public utility easements and finds that the proposed variance will not. There may be private easements that staff is unaware of, however, it is the owner's responsibility to identify and maintain private easements as thiF can riot be enforced by the City. When tic proposed building or addition is within the rezjr yard, the setback adjacent to the rear property line shall be landscaped with sight obscuring plantings in accordloce with the standards set forth in Section 18.100.080, Landscaping and Screening. The area where the addition was constructed dons not presently include the screening and buffering measures required by Section 18.100.080. The applicant must provide a screening plan which includes either a hedge which will form a four (4)-foot continuous screen within two (2) years, an earthen berm planted with evergreen shrubs which will NOTICE OF DECISION VAR 99.0001 -TIBBETTS FLEXIBLE SETBACK VARIANCE PAGE 3 OF 5 form a six (F) foot continuous screen within two (2) years, or a five (5)-foot high or taller fence. The applicant had indicated that the house to the rear was at a mach higher grade than the subject site. Section 18.100.080.G states that when grades are so steep as to make the installation of screening to the required height impractical, a detailed landscaping and screening plan shall be submitted for approval. Therefore, alternatively, the plan may provide another combination of screening elements that provide the same level of screening. The applicant must construct or plant the required screenirly prior to issuance of building permits. Setback, buffering and screening requirements that apply when commercial and industrial zones abu' a residential zone shall be satisfied. The site involves residential property which abuts residential property, therefore, this standard does not apply. SECTION V. OTHER STAFF COMMENTS SECTION V1. AGENCY COMMENTS SECTION VII.

I made an on site inspection of a cantilever structural problem at the residence of Bruce A. Tibbetts, 13541 Clearview Place, Tigard, Oregon. This was done at the request of George Steele, the Senior Building Inspector, who had been communicating with Mr. Tibbetts regarding the problem. Since this time, I have been trying to reach you by letter(s) , dated January 29, 1997 with a 7279 SW Ascot, Portland, Oregon address and again on February 11, 1997 at 2211 SW 1st Ave. 0402, Portland, Oregon. Both times, we did not receive a response from you. I am submitting along with this letter, a copy of my latest correspondence regarding the issues. I urge you to take this matter under consideration and respond as quickly as possible. I would be most pleased to speak with you and help in any way that I can. My number is (503) . 639-4171 Ext. 319 or you may speak with George Steele at the same number Ext. 362. If you do not respond within ten (10) clays of receipt of this most recent letter, I will be committed to write a Notice of Civil Infraction for the violation of structural Code issues. Thank you for your attention over this most urgent matter and I hope to be hearing from you soon. Yours Truly, Rick Bolen Building Inspector c: David Scott George Steele 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503)639-4171 TDD (503)684-2772 CITY OF TIGARD OREGON February 11, 1997 Elan Homes Bill & Susan Spicer 2211 SW 1st Ave. 0402 Portland, Oregon 97201 Dear Sir/Madam: On January 3, 1997, I made an on site inspection of a cantilever structural problem at the residence of Bruce A. Tibbetts, 13541 Clearview Place Tigard, Oregon. This was at the request of George Steele, Senior Building Inspector, who had been communicating with Mr. Tibbetts regarding the problem. Mr. Tibbetts provided a set of plans for my inspection, which I used to view the structural members identifiable under the floor in the crawl space. The plans show the cantilever sitting over 6X beams approximately 7-1/2 -inches down with double 2X81s secured with hangers at the opposite end of ' the cantilever and approximately 9-feet inward. The plans also do not show a beam above the main floor to support the tipper floor. The cantilever extends outward for approximately 4-feet and is 24-feet 6-inches in length. All aspects of the area in question are as per plans. Although this be true, the plans are somewhat suspicious with the inverted printing and the cantilever dimensions are right side up. This appears to state that this was an after thought and may have been drawn in at a later date. Whether this is true or not, I really don't know, because we no longer have the original set of plans. The problem developing at present is a sloping of the floor at this cantilever location. Whether this has been an ongoing or recent development is unknown, but by viewing the trim work of the cabinet, it appears to have been fnr the life of the construction. The exterior cantilever is at present being supported with three (3) 12-inch cinder block pier pads (not adequately spaced e= supported along the perimeter) with a 4X laid on top of the piers. The 4X is shimmed, but not adequately. The piers are suppressed into the earth, as to have sustained the burden of the entire loading of the two-story cantilever. Without a beam spanned across the length of the kitchen and nook, which is 24-feet 6-inches and highly unlikely, it would suggest that these three piers aod 4X are 13125 '.74 Hall 81vd, Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171 TCD (503) 684-2772 the only support that the cantilever is under-taking at this present time. The cantilever probably would have wcrked, if, a beam had been placed length-wise to transfer the loading, spanning from foundation-to-foundation and wall-to-wall. OR, if an exterior foundation wall was erected at the perimeter of the cantilever, but this is not the case, as the plans appear to have indicated. Therefore, it is my opinion t:at the contractor of this construction take this information and provide in full depth, an engineering fix for the problem the cantilever is experiencing. It is also advised to work with Mr. Tibbetts on rectifying this problem and keep the City of Tigard informed of the progress. If you feel that you would like to speak -i.th a City of Tigard representative, please contact Mr. Geo&4e ;Steele, the Senior Building Inspector, or David Scott, the Building Official. You may reach either by calling (503) 639-4171. Thank you for your attention over this matter.

If you feel that you would like to speak with a City of Tigazd representative, please contact Mr. George Steele, the Senior Building Inspector, or David Scott, the Building Official. You may reach either by calling (503) 639-4171. Thank you for your attention over this matter. Trulyl Yours, Rick Bolen Building Inspector c: George Steele Bruce Tibbetts
