A
Mayor
we're
having
a
little
problem
with
getting
audio
for
Tiffany,
so
I'm
working
on
that
right
now.
Okay,
thanks.
B
And
Tiffany
I
just
sent
Opera
your
phone
number,
so
she
can
call
and
help
you.
So
if
you
see
someone
pop
up,
that's
probably
her.
A
A
A
Your
video
is
not
on
it,
doesn't
look
like
you'll
have
to
enable
that,
but
it's
not
even
giving
the
option.
It
looks
like.
A
A
C
C
C
C
At
least
you
can
hear
us,
that's
the
start.
Yes,.
A
And
well
Pete
Bergman
be
joining
us
as
well.
He.
A
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
good
afternoon.
Everyone.
My
name
is
Matt
worthland
and
one
of
the
appeals
hearing
officers
for
Salt
Lake
City.
D
D
This
is
regarding
case
number
PL
nzad
2022
Dash
zero,
one,
two
o
four,
and
with
that
being
the
only
matter,
this
is
a
a
public
hearing
and
those
who
do
wish
to
speak
to
the
public
Hearing
in
addition
to
the
applicant
will
provide
time
and
an
opportunity
for
you
to
provide
that
input.
D
And
so
how
will
proceed
is
will
give
first
hear
from
our
applicant
and
just
as
as
a
reminder
with
respect
to
a
a
variance
the.
C
D
Does
lie
on
the
applicant
to
provide
the
the
evidence
necessary
to
to
show
that
that
the
variance
request
is
in
accordance
with
the
statutory
Provisions
laid
out
in
Salt
Lake
City
ordinance
on
variances
and
I
may
have
some
questions
along
the
way
as
well
and
then
I'll
give
solics.
If
anybody
from
Salt
Lake
City
wants
to
respond
or
provide
input.
D
They're
welcome
to
do
that
and
then
we'll
give
the
applicant
the
last
word
to
respond
to
anything
the
city
says
or
to
just
provide
any
additional
information
for
the
information
of
all
present
I.
D
Everything
that
is
in
the
you
know
in
the
staff
report
is
part
of
of
the
record,
and,
and
so
there's
no
need
necessarily
to
restate
what
is
already
in
in
the
record,
but
if
you'd
like
to
highlight
or
provide
anything
additional
that
that
is,
is
welcome
and
but,
but
just
so
you
know,
I
have
carefully
read
the
report
and
that
will
become
part
of
the
the
record
for
a
decision
and
and
so
we'll
go
kind
of,
and
then
sorry
after
the
applicant
I
forgot
I
will
open
it
up
to
a
after
the
applicant
and
the
city.
D
B
D
C
C
Thank
you.
We
are
looking
basically
for
a
vertical
inline
variance
on
an
existing
1918,
brick
duplex.
C
C
So
in
order
to
gain
an
upstairs,
we
were
hoping
to
just
stack
ex
new
stairs
on
top
of
the
existing
stairs
to
access
bedrooms,
because
this
duplex
has
no
legal
egress
bedroom
and
we
would
really
like
to
have
good
light
proper
egress,
where
almost
every
home
in
the
whole
neighborhood
has
bedrooms
with
proper
egress
and
that's
you
know
the
inline
variance
is
used
to
be
granted
and
I
know.
That's
something!
C
C
So
we
felt
like
the
setback
on
the
North
side,
wasn't
really
hindering
anything
by
just
stacking
in
upstairs
over
the
existing
home
I
I
guess
we.
We
believe
that
our
request
is
reasonable.
We
don't
see
any
negative
complications
that
we
can
foresee,
but
of
course
we
realize
that
the
code
is
the
code
and
trying
to
find
a
unique.
C
You
know
that
we're
in
a
unique
situation
and
that
that
was
the
difficulty
for
us,
because
we
truly
believe
it
is
a
simple
solution
to
give
both
families,
not
just
the
single
family,
but
both
families
room
to
expand
and
have
proper
bedrooms.
So
in
a
nutshell,
that
is
really
kind
of
what
we're
looking
for.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Tiffany.
Let
me
ask
just
a
a
couple
of
questions.
You
you
mentioned
that
the
duplex
has
no
legal
egress
bedroom
bedroom
with
egress.
Is
that
both
both
sides
correct,
and
so
that
all
comes
through
the
center
of
the
house,
where
it's
bisected,
with
the
single
set
of
stairways.
C
D
C
D
That
those
that
doesn't
make
sense
and
I
appreciate
that
you're
looking
for
a
common
sense
solution
here
and
so
again
as
I
as
I
see
it
the
the
the
the
the
side.
It's
it's
the
north
side
that
abuts
the
that
abuts
the
alley,
which
is
where
the
where
the
setback
is
non-conforming
is
that
is.
D
And,
and
so
what
what
you're
saying
is
the
purpose
of
the
setback
might
be
to
you
know,
avoid
blocking
any
views
or
providing
any
concerns
with
the
neighboring
house
or
something
the
fact
that
it's
not
there,
it's
more,
it's
an
alley
in
your
mind
that
mitigates
that
concern
essentially
essentially.
D
D
D
Anything
else
Tiffany
you'd
like
to
point
out
for
my
benefit.
C
I
think
that's
about
it.
I
mean
you've
reviewed
all
of
the
other
drawings
and
all
that
and
then
yeah
yeah.
A
C
C
D
B
I'll
just
keep
it
very
brief
that
you
know
we
do
understand
the
applicant's
wish
and
completely
sympathize
with
that
desire.
However,
we
don't
believe
that
this
meets
the
standards
for
a
variants
as
far
as
special
circumstances
to
the
property.
Well,
it
is
unique
that
it
is
a
duplex.
B
The
lot
width
and
the
lot
size
is
not
unusual
for
the
the
zone
or
the
neighborhood.
Many
homes
on
the
same
street
and
in
the
zone
also
have
encourage
encroachments
into
that
side,
yard
setback
and
would
also
be
limited
to
do
a
vertical,
inline
Edition,
and
then
just
and
you
have
this
in
your
staff
report,
but
as
covered
in
the
staff
report.
B
You
know
there
are,
as
we
look
at
a
substantial
property
right
and
in
our
assessment
we
don't
believe
that
an
expansion
on
a
home
is
a
substantial
property
right,
and
that
is
a
self-imposed
hardship,
because
it's
a
desire
for
more
living
space
when,
when
that's,
we
just
don't
see
it
as
a
substantial
property
right,
I
did
want
to
address
the
Alley
part
as
well.
So
I
looked
into
the
alley
and
went
through
property
records,
and,
while
it
does,
you
know,
appear
by
the
naked
eye
to
be
a
public
alley.
B
However,
they
do
have
the
option
of
you
know
approaching
those
property
owners
that
about
the
alley
on
the
North
side
or
the
other
side
of
the
alley,
and
seeing,
if
there's
potential,
to
acquire
that
property
onto
their
lot
as
a
solution
to
get
that
Frontage,
because
I
do
understand
that
it
appears
they
do
have
that
setback,
even
though
it's
not
technically
their
property
and
it's
also
not
public
property.
B
D
Thank
you
very
much.
I'll
now
open
it
up
for
any
comments
from
members
of
the
public
do
do
we
have
anybody.
That's
joined
us
that
would
like
to
comment
on
this
petition.
We.
D
C
Well,
yeah
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
all
the
work
everybody's
put
into
this
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversations
back
and
forth
and
just
kind
of
working
through
the
code
and
what's
reasonable
and
what's
against
the
work,
the
verbiage
so
I
mean
we
always
maintain
hopefulness,
but
we
fully
understand
what
and
respect
what
is
decided
today.
So
thanks
to
everyone.
D
Thank
you
Tiffany
and.
B
D
I
think
candidly,
what
you
had
said
before,
when
they
used
to
have
the
inline
variance
option
under
the
under
the
code
that
that
was
kind
of
tailor-made
for
this
kind
of
situation.
With
with
that
God
we
are.
However,
you
want
to
put
it
stuck
with,
so
to
speak,
the
the
language
of
the
variance
standards
and,
as,
as
you
probably
know,
a
variance.
It
is
very
hard
to
meet
the
standards
of
of
a
variance
just
because
you
know
essentially
they
and
and
for
for
good
public
policy
reasons.
D
As
you
can
imagine,
if
a
variance
were
just
a
a
big
door
that
people
could
go
through
to
get
around
the
zoning
ordinance,
it
could
easily
be
taken
advantage
of,
and
so
it
is
By
Design
meant
meant
to
be,
as
as
restrictive
and
as
conservative
as
possible
to
not
allow
very
many
exceptions
to
whatever
particular
standard
is
in
place
and
and
and
but
does
allow
for
it
in
in
the
situations
where,
if
there
is
something
particularly
unique
about
the
property,
if
it's
shaped
in
a
particular
way,
you
know,
unfortunately,
the
the
the
the
the
way
the
building
is
is
built
or
the
type
of
building.
D
It
has
never
been
recognized
as
one
of
those
unique
parts
of
a
property
that
would
allow
for
a
variance
or
that
would
would
arise
as
being
something
specifically
peculiar
to
the
property
that
creates
a
new
unusual
hardship,
as
as
I
have
gone
through
the
the
various
standards
and
and
looked
at
the
the
facts
and
and
the
drawings
it.
D
It's
clear
that
there
are
other
ways
of
of
accomplishing
this
and
it
is
not
considered
a
an
unnecessary
hardship
not
to
be
able
to
have
the
particular
design
that
that
that
you
want
now.
Having
said
all
of
this,
and
unfortunately,
it's
completely
meaningless
technically
under
the
law,
but
I
have
a
lot
of
sympathy
for
this
petitioner.
I
mean
I
mean
to
everybody
here.
D
D
Officer,
I
am
required
to
follow
the
the
the
the
law
as
it
is
outlined
in
in
the
ordinance
and
and
would
it
would
be
required,
based
on
again
the
testimony
and
everything
in
the
staff
report
and
all
the
evidence
that
that
this
does
not
and
I
do
rule
that
this
does
not
meet
the
standards
for
a
variance
and
so
would
would
rule,
unfortunately,
against
the
petition
and
deny
the
petition,
because
it
does
not
meet
the
standards
required
under
the
ordinance
and
I
I.
B
D
There
was
another
way
that
I
did
not
have
to
and
I
realized,
that
is
cold
comfort
for
you,
as
as
you
have
been
trying
to
do
everything
to
make
this
happen,
but
with
respect
to
the
scope
of
what
I
can
do
as
as
an
officer
to
make
this
decision
I'm
required
to
follow
the
law
and
and
and
I
think
it's
very
clear
that
the
the
the
variance
standards
are
are
not
met.
D
So
I'd
encourage
you
to
look
for
other
other
options
and
there's
always
the
option
of
going
to
the
city
council
and
having
them
change
the
law.
That's
not
I
realize
that's,
not
easy
or
or
efficient
either,
but
that's
what
we're
we're
stuck
with,
and
that's
my
decision,
I
appreciate
everybody's
time
and
work
and
I'm
not
trying
to
minimize
the
the
work
and
the
effort
that
have
gone
into
this
and
the
hope
that
we
could
find
an
easy
solution.
Unfortunately,
the
variance
just
isn't
a
a
possibility.
D
So
with
that
that
concludes
our
hearing
tonight
and
on
this
issue
I
will
there
will
be
a
written
decision
that
will
come
out
that
we'll
just
outline
and
specifically
address
each
of
the
areas
in
the
ordinance,
but.
