2.4 Section 004.01( )} City Code, requires a front yard setback of no less than 30 feet. 3.0 MINOR VARIAN � E-E .1 The request for the variance included the required application form, a sketch of the property, a written statement from the applicant, and written approval from the adjacent property owner affected by the variance. 3.2 The Minor variance Committee reviewed this request on Monday, June , 1998. Ms. Weber's husband (Ray Bishop) was present to review the proposal and answer questions. The project was discussed, including the physical hardship created by q p � the ro ert being located on a corner, the physical hardship created by the p P ]� � location of the house on the property, and the practical difficulty presented by the single car garage. Mr. Bishop indicated that the property was re-measured after the application was submitted, adding that the house is actually 34 feet from the edge of the right-of-way rather than 30 feat. Alternatives were discussed# with the Minor variance committee concurring that the proposed garage addition is the beat option from both a functional and aesthetic standpoint. 3.3 The Minor variance Committee unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to reduce the setback from an unimproved right-of-way (extension of Grotto Street)to 27 feet for the purpose of constructing a seven foot addition to an attached garage at 749 Sextant Avenue West, based on the following findings: Section 1004.02(D)(4) requires a front yard setback of no less than 30 feet. 2. The location of the p roperty on a corner and the location of the house on the property create a physical hardship, while the single car garage presents a practical difficulty for the applicant. 3. The garage addition will be an improvement to the property. The garage addition as ro osed is the best option from both a functional and aesthetic p p standpoint. 4. It is doubtful that this right-of-way will ever be improved. recreational trail is located within the right-of-way and provides access to central Park. ro osed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of �. Thep p . th e s Comprehensive it ' plan and Title 10 of the city Code (Zoning). 6. The proposed variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare.
