Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Page four Miller reviewed his comments in his report of 3/31/77, noting that the rear setback variance would be substantially Increased If house were moved to the north. 'Miller said that Friesen prefers as wide a separation from house on north lot as possible; wants to utilize view of park to the east (Sampson Park) and wants to garden on the north portion of his lot. April II, 1977 After discussion, Crichton moved, seconded by Hanson, that Council approve a front set-back variance of 6' (34' from front property lIne), and a rear set-back variance of 18' (12' from rear property line). Motion carrIed unanimously. '. Mr. FrIesen was advised of the potentIal Increase In use of the pedestrlanway adjacent to hIs rear property line, which he saId would not be objectionable. Case No. 77-12. Variance for Garage - Richard Paulzlne. 1854 Grant Road MTTTer referred Council to a diagram of the existing house, wIth proposed attached two-car garage; noted that lot Is narrow, and a varIance of 5' Is necessary If garage Is to be attached. Miller reported that this variance does not create.a double .problem; garage on next lot is set back 10' from the lIne. MIller reported that the Planning CommIssion recommends Council approval of the 5' variance: polley of the Commission and Council has been to grant variances on substandard width lots.
