Application BACKGROUND INFORMATION Comprehensive Plan Classification The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the property as U-I, Urban Residential. Zoning Classification The subject property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential. Adjacent Zoning and Land Use The following land uses abut the property: Direction ExistinQ Use ZoninQ North Single Family Res R-2 Med Den Res East Chestnut St Single Family Res R-2 Med Den Res South Alley Single Family Res R-2 Med Den Res West Single Family Res R-2 Med Den Res Comp Plan U-I - Urb Res U-I - Urb Res U-I - Urb Res U-J - Urb Res Existing Condition The existing site consists of a house and garage that are attached by a breezeway. SITE PLAN REVIEW House Condition Included with the Staff report are elevations of the new pre-built home that will be moved to this site. Surrounding Homes The median property value (property value = building value + land value) of the surrounding homes (within 150') is $190,000 while the proposed property value of the new house would be $142,300. The property value of the existing home is $127,700. The area homes were all constructed between 1856 and 1999 with a median year of 1918. The proposed house is new and would have been constructed in 2007. The style of the proposed home is a plain rectangle more similar to the house to be replaced rather than the surrounding homes. The size of the home is similar to the surrounding homes at 1,549 Sq Ft. Zoning Setbacks The proposed placement of the home on the lot will meet all setback requirements of the R-2 zoning district. This includes a provision allowing homes to be as close as 10' from the front property line if existing homes in the area are within the same distance to the front property line. Building Permit Review The Building Official is in the process of reviewing the house plans. The applicant will be required to obtain a building permit before the house may be moved. At that time, a certificate of survey must be submitted, and grading issues will be reviewed at that time by the Engineering Department. ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DESIGN CONTROL: The Planning Commission acting as the 'Board of Design Control' has the following responsibilities: 1. Call of Hearing: The Board is required to hold a hearing to consider the application papers. Notification of the hearing date and time must be given to the applicant and other persons deemed appropriate by the Board Secretary. 2. Hearings & Findings: Before or during the hearing, each member may view the premises upon which the structure is located or to be located, and at the hearing the Board shall examine the application papers and hear the applicant. It may also hear any members of a citizens' committee and any other persons who request to be heard. The Board may adjourn from time to time, but within forty- eight (48) hours of the close of the hearing the Board shall, pursuant to a majority vote of all the members of the Board, file written findings of the fact that the exterior design, appearance and functional plan of such structures is or is not at variance or so dissimilar with the exterior design, appearance and functional plans of structures constructed or in the course of construction in the neighborhood of said proposed structures, which are in the same zoning district as the proposed structures, as to cause material depreciation generally to property in said neighborhood. The Board shall further make a recommendation that the application be accordingly granted or denied. The action of the Board will then be presented to the City Council at its next regular meeting. Further action with respect to the granting or refusing of a permit with respect to such application shall be held in abeyance pending order and direction of the Council. Neighborhood Response Letters were sent out on Monday September 17, 2007 to neighboring property owners. One comment was received in support of the house move as of the date of this report. Staff Findings The median property value of the homes within 150' of the site is $190,000 with a range from $133,000 to 250,200. The median year the surrounding homes were built is 1918 with a range from 1852 to 1999. The housing stock in this neighborhood is uniquely diverse. The value of the proposed home (142,300) is lower than the median value of the surrounding homes (190,000), but higher than the value of the existing home (127,700). All of the surrounding homes have more architectural detail than the proposed home, which appears relatively plain. However, the existing home is also plain and has no significant architectural detail. HASTINGS CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO.

John and Nancy Iverson - House Move Permit #2007-43 - 110 Chestnut Street Associate Planner Fortney gave a staff report. Chair Truax allowed time for the public to provide input at 7:08. Sandy Davis spoke to the issue. She stated that she lives across the street and moving the proposed home on to this lot would be a great improvement to the neighborhood. John Iverson, applicant said that he owns this home and it is a rent property for them. He added that in the past the property has barely passed City rental inspections and it is too costly to fix-up. He stated that his son and another person rent the property and may want to buy the home from them one day. Iverson also said that he grew-up just west of this property. Commissioner Stevens asked staff which side elevation was the left side, as both are labeled as right. Fortney replied, the side elevation without a window is the left. The right elevation that has a window will be facing Chestnut Street. Stevens then asked if it is allowable for a home to face the alley rather than the street. Fortney replied, their mailbox would have to face Chestnut Street. Commissioner Schmitt said that the lot is two half lots and the home could not face Chestnut due to the shape of the lot. He added that this configuration is common for the area. Commissioner Peine asked the applicants if they knew of other types of homes that could face the street. The applicants were unsure. Peine stated that the proposed home varies in appearance from the surrounding homes. He added that there is a variety of home styles in the area and this would add to that.
