~+~l REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 6-08-92 ITEM NO.: ß - 2-- Depart~oval: Item Description: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: ~8- Consent Robert and Catharine Renner request for minor variance at 2115 N. Rosewood Lane. a Background: 1. ci ty ordinances require that a 10 foot sideyard setback be provided on lots created after 1959. 2. Robert and Catharine Renner are purchasing a lot that was created by a lot division in approximately 1986. They wish to construct a house that would have 5 foot sideyard setbacks on both sides of the house instead of the required 10 foot setback. The surrounding area is a 5 foot sideyard setback area but the houses have been developed with 10 foot setbacks. 3. The surrounding property owners have indicated their support for the proposed variance. 4. The Minor Variance Committee unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to allow a 5 foot setback on the west side of the house but that a 10 foot sideyard should be maintained on the east side to be consistent with the surrounding area. The Committee felt this was reasonable because of the fact that the lot is narrower than others in the area and that the house will be of similar size and fit in with others in the area. The reduced setback on the west side would not be a problem because of the angled configuration and large setback of the adjacent house. Alternatives: 1. Deny the variance based on the finding that no hardship or practical difficulty exists. 2. Approve the variance request based on the finding that a hardship and/or practical difficulty exists. Policy Obiectives: 1. To insure that development occurs in accordance wi th the City's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances.
