� l� ► � ► � ► i ► � 11 li � 3.1 The request for the variance included the required application form, sketch of the property and proposed garage, written statement from the applicant, and written approval from the adjacent property owners affected by the variance (Richard Verbout at 296 South McCarrons Boulevard W and Meg Emery at 302 South McCarrons Boulevard 11�. 3.2 The Minor Variance Committee reviewed this request on June 16, 1997, and unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to reduce the front yard setback of a private garage to three feet for the purpose of replacing an existing detached garage at 300 South McCarrons Boulevard W, based on the following findings: 1. The natural grade of the property at 300 South McCarrons Boulevard W results in the elevation at the building line being approximately 30 feet above the established curb line. 2. At least one-half of the height of the garage will be below g�ade level. 3. There is no other practicat location for a garage, either detached or attached, on the property. In order to place the garage 20 feet from the front property line, a substantial portion of the front yard would need to be excavated. In addition, the slope of the driveway and the location of the driveway on the north side of the parcel would make it difficult to use in the winter. 4. The replacement garage will be slightly larger than the existing garage; however, it will be setback three feet further from the property line and will meet the flve foot side yard setback requirement 5. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 6. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. , . . ., 4.1 By motion, approve David and Lisa Booms' request for a minor variance to reduce the front yard setback of a private garage to three feet for the purpose of replacing an existing detached garage at 300 South McCarrons Boulevard W based on the findings of the Minor Variance Committee outlined in section 3.2 of this report.
