<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Kathleen Nordine, City Planner <br /> <br />DATE: December 20,2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Variance - Sandra Kennedy, 3988 Glenview Avenue <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Sandra Kennedy submitted a variance application to re-build a home on her property at <br />3988 Glenview Avenue. The existing home was recently damaged by a fire and is not <br />habitable. The home will be demolished and a new home will be constructed in its placc, <br />utilizing the same footprint. This proposal requires a variance to reduce thc rcquired 40- <br />foot structure setback from the Lake Valentine Road and Glenview Avenue street rights- <br />of-way to 25.81 feet and 33.42 feet respectively <br /> <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />Thc subject property is located in the Rl - Single Family Residential District, west of <br />Lake Valentine. Thc property is a comer lot with frontage on Lake Valentinc Road and <br />Glenview Avenuc. The lot is approximately 20,133 square feet in sizc and varies in <br />width due to its frontage on the two streets. The property had bcen developed with a two <br />story singlc- family home that was recently destroyed in a fire. The applicant is proposing <br />to reconstruct a single family home on the property, utilizing the existing building <br />footprint <br /> <br />Ms. Kelmedy is proposing to construct a one-story home with a lower level walkout and <br />attachcd garage. Again, the proposed home is located in the same place and using thc <br />same footprint as the previous home. The first floor area of the home is 2,224 square <br />fcet Access to the home would remain the same utilizing two existing driveways. The <br />home would be setback 25.81 feet from Lake Valentine Road and 33.42 feet from <br />Glenview Avenue. These setbacks are less than thc minimum 40-feet required, therefore, <br />a variance is needed. <br /> <br />DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />In the R-I District, the Zoning Ordinance specifics that a minimum front setback of 40- <br />feet is required from a street right-of-way. The proposed home is setback 25.81 feet from <br />Lake Valentine Road and 33.42 feet from Glenview Avenue. A variance to reduce this <br />setback is necessary for the project to proceed as proposed. <br /> <br />I <br />
