N�i,RR.ATT.VE DESCRIPTION REGARDING A REQUEST 1±OR SETBACK VARIANCE 1828 NORTH DALE COURT . JULY 13,2006 Charles and Suzanne Weleczki are seeking a setback variance regarding the single family home ]ot ]ocated at 1828 Noi�ti-� Dale Cow-t. The Weleczkis formerly lived at 1822 North Dale Cot�rt immediately adjacent to the south of the subject Iot for over 30 years. After raising nine children, they retired last year and due to health concerns (Mrs. Weleczki has been battling colon and lung caucer and Mr. Weleczki has severe diabetes), tbey moved to an apartment complex on Victoria Street in 2005. In order to facilitate selling their homestead, the Weleczkis applied for and received a minor subdivision approval i�� 2005 whereby d1e subject lot at 1828 North Dale Court was split from the original homestead at 1822 North Dale Court. The Weleczkis then sold their homestead and it�oved to their apartment n� late summer 2005. The Weleczkis l�ave bad the subject Iot ]isted witl� a real estate company since the xi�it�or subdivision was approved in 2005. They, have had numerous interested parties and not less than six (6) purchase agreements have been submiLfied by potential buyers. �+��k�i� � y: due to the unique triangular shape of the subject lot, the buyers have had a difficulty in developing practical plans for a home design that can be built oil the site without the need for setback variances. This has resulted in all pua�c�ase agreements being cancelled or rescinded. To date, the Weleczkis have been unable to sell the lot due to these practical difficulties in n�akii�g a design plan for a home without setback variances. The potential lot buyers have indicated that the current unique shape of the lot imposes practical difficulties on the home design such that a typical standard home design plan will not work. Potential buyers are unable ta design hallways and rooms on tlle tzniqtte triangular site such that the new home would be practically useable. The Weleczkis are not Iiome builders or real estate developers and to date they have merely sought to sell the lot to someone who s� make good use of it. However, they have now concluded that in order to sell the lot and in order to overcome the practical difficulties of ineeting all set back requirements on the unique triangular shaped lot, the best option is to seek a setback variance so that a home with a traditional design plan and layout may be constructed on the lot. A boundary survey showing the dimensions of the lot as split was submitted in 2005 in conjunctioil with the minor subdivision application. Attached to the applicatiov is a schematic of a possible footprint of a si��gle family home siructure for tl�e new lot. While it would be physically possible to construct a very uniquely designed single family I�.o�ne on a building �ad ou the subject lot that would meet all set back requirements, the attached schematic shows a plan for a more traditional single family home design that would require only minor relaxation of set back requirements on thc East and West sides of LI�e lot aiid in which stand�ud room sizes, hallways and entrances colild be built.
