;#(1 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 10-26-92 ITEM NO.: yj.. -;;.-. Department Approval: t D vrt·, I em escr1p 10n: Manager Reviewed: Agenda section: ~ Consent Daniel and Elizabeth Jeans request for a minor variance to 272 Roma. Background: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. City ordinances require that a minimum front yard setback in R-l single family residential districts be 30 feet. Daniel and Elizabeth Jeans have requested a variance to allow them to construct a bedroom addition onto the front of their house which would have a 27 foot setback instead of the required 30 feet. \(i~f---- In 1980, the City ~ra~ted the Jeans a variance which allowed them to construct n entry addition onto the front of their house which has a 7 foot front yard setback. The proposed addition would pro~ect no further than this existing entry. Adj acent affected i n~ghbOrS have signed their approval of the proposed variance\ The Minor Variance Co~ittee unanimously recommended approval of Daniel and Elizabetb Jeans request for a minor variance at 272 Roma. The Committee believed that because the City has previously granted a variance and that this addition would project no further than the previous variance, that this was a reasonable request. Alternatives: 1. Deny the variance based on the finding that no hardship or practical difficulty exists. 2. Grant the variance based on the finding that there is hardship or practical difficulty present on the site. Policy Objectives: 1. To insure that development occurs consistent with the City's zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan. 2. To grant variances where hardships and/or practical difficulties exist.
