Request for Council Action PF2900 - Page 2 3.3 ~ The Minor Variance Committee reviewed this request on April 22, 1997, and unanimously recommended approval of the variance to reduce the rear yard setback of a corner lot to 10 feet, based on the following findings: 1. The 1963 addition and the resulting roof lines and floor plan does not allow for an addition in any other location. 2. The property is a corner lot and the narrow side of the house faces the front yard; therefore, the rear yard setback applies even though this area is the side of the house. 3. The only reasonable and practical location for an addition is to the east of the house, which is the rear yard. 4. The garage will be set back at least ten feet from the east property line, which is the required side yard setback in this zoning district. 5. The driveway will be expanded to line up with the new garage door. None of the existing driveway area will be removed and the width of the curbcut will not be increased. 6. The proposed development is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. 7. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare.
