3.0 STAFF COMMENT <br /> 1 <br /> 3.1 In reviewing this request, staff made the following findings: <br /> Both parcels are currently substandard parcels of record. Consolidating the <br /> two parcels into one buildable parcel for a new single family horse will create <br /> a new parcel with an area similar to other parcels in the neighborhood. <br /> 2. Reducing the north side yard setback to five feet and the south front yard <br /> setback to 30 feet will also bring the proposed building envelope in line with <br /> other parcels in the neighborhood. <br /> 3. The substandard sizes of the existing parcels creates practical difficulties in <br /> creating a buildable lot with a building envelope of adequate size for a new <br /> single family home. <br /> 4. The proposed variances are in harmony with the general purpose and intent <br /> of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). <br /> 5. The proposed variances, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, <br /> safety, or general welfare. <br /> 4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDA TIO <br /> 4.1 Based on the findings outline in Section 3.1, staff recommends approval of the <br /> request for variances to reduce the minimum lot area to 1 0,875 square feet and the <br /> minimum lot width to 87 feet for the purpose of consolidating two substandard lots <br /> into one buildable lot. Staff also recommends approval of variances to reduce the <br /> north side yard setback to five feet and the south front yard setback to 30 feet for <br /> the purpose of establishing a building envelope for a new single family dwelling at <br /> 100 William Street North. <br /> 5,0 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION <br /> 5.1 On May 27, 1998 the Planning Commission held a hearing regarding the variance <br /> requests. The Commission heard from a nearby neighbor, Brad Krump, AIA, who <br /> recommended a 10 foot side lot setback and a 25 foot side corner setback. The <br /> Commission recommended approval of the variances to reduce the minimum lot <br /> area to 10,875 square feet and the minimum lot width to 87 feet for the purpose of <br /> consolidating two substandard lots into one buildable lot and variances to increase <br /> the north side yard setback to ten feet while reducing the south front yard setback <br /> to 25 feet for the purpose of establishing a building envelope for a new single family <br /> dwelling at 2100 William street Forth, based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1 <br /> of this report. <br /> RCA(PF#ago 1 B)-06/08/98 - Page 3 of 4 <br />
