~~¿;Id REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 12-14-92 ITEM NO.:,:ß I 3 Department Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda section: ~ Consent Daryl Hansen request for minor variances at 2126 s. Rosewood Lane. Background: 1. ci ty ordinances require City residences to have a 30 foot rear yard and a 30 foot front yard setback. Daryl Hansen, on behalf of Dr. David Hopstock, is requesting a variance to allow the Hopstock' s to expand their existing dwelling by adding a family room and a attached three car garage. The proposed three car garage would have a 19 foot setback from Hythe street instead of the required 30 feet. 2. The Hopstocks have also purchased a narrow strip of land from the city adj acent to Hythe street. This changed the front yard from Rosewood Lane to the Hythe street side because it is the street side' with the least amount of frontage. The existing structure would then have a non- conforming rear yard of 26 feet instead of the required 30 feet. Before the additional land was purchased, the setback was conforming because it was a side setback instead of a rear setback. 3. The Minor Variance Committee unanimously recommended approval of the minor variances based on the necessity to save mature trees on the site and the hardship of having to remove a portion of the house to bring it into compliance. 4. All affected neighbors indicated their approval of the proposed variances. Alternatives: 1. Deny the variances based on the finding that no hardship and/or practical difficulty exists. 2. Grant the variances because a hardship and/or practical difficulty exists on the site. Policy Obiectives: 1. To insure that development occurs consistent with the City's zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan.
