FROM: Brian Fritsinger, Community Planning coordina~ SUBJECT: Case #94-26, Front Yard Setback Variance Applicant: Paul and Mary Crosby Relluest The applicant is requesting a sixteen (16) foot front yard variance for the construction of a new home at 1485 Arden Place West. Backe-round The Planning Commission reviewed this request at its November 2, 1994 meeting. At this meeting, the request was tabled pending further information from the applicant. The 4t Commission should review the Staff Report dated October 19,1994 for the specific elements of this request. The applicant was asked to provide additional information about the home and schematics which would allow the Commission to better visualize the home. This included the building pad elevations and other pertinent information. The applicant has prepared a model for viewing which will be available at the meeting and attached is the elevation drawing requested. New Findin~s 1. Precedent The applicant has provided as part of the application, several examples of other properties in the general vicinity of this parcel that have homes which encroach into the setback areas. Of these properties, only 1548 Arden Place was found to have been granted a front yard setback variance. This 20 foot front yard setback variance was for the construction of a ne.w garage. The conditions detailed in Section VIII, D, 4 to grant a variance do not differentiate between living space and garage space. Those same conditions, if present, would apply in either case. The variance granted to 1548 Arden Place was based upon the deep drop-off or slope of the lot. This same condition exists on the applicant's lot. .
