The property is zoned R-1 <br /> Single Family Residential and adjacent land uses are all single family residential. <br /> 2.2 Mr. ,hack is requesting a variance from Section 1 004.0 (D)(5), City Code, to reduce <br /> the side yard setback to six feet. The applicant is in need of additional garage <br /> space and would like to construct a third garage stall on the north side of the <br /> existing two-car garage. Mr. Jack has looked at other options for constructing <br /> additional garage apace; however, the location of the existing garage, the <br /> topography of the parcel, and the location of a swimming pool in the rear yard <br /> creates practical difficulty in locating such a garage in any other location. <br /> Constructing a detached garage in the rear yard would be out of character with the <br /> neighborhood. In addition, a driveway cannot be extended around the northern side <br /> of the existing garage to such a detached garage because of the location of the <br /> swimming pool. constructing a second driveway to provide access around the <br /> southern side of the house to a such detached garage would look out of place in the <br /> neighborhood, require a driveway setback variance, and would be somewhat <br /> problematic because of the grade differential on the south side of the house. The <br /> applicant has also indicated a willingness to give up his right to construct a <br /> douched garage on the property as a provision of this variance. The location of <br /> the existing garage, the topography of the parcel, and the location of a <br /> swimming pool in the rear yard creates a practical difficulty for the applicant. <br /> PF 2994- RCA(03/23/98) - Page 1 of 2 <br />
