Dale Street. <br /> <br />Backqround: <br /> <br />1. City ordinances require that accessory structures in <br />residential districts shall be located five feet or more from <br />all lot lines. <br /> <br />2. William McMahon is proposing to reconstruct an existing <br />garage to remove siding that is covered with lead based paint <br />and to expand the size of the garage. The existing garage <br />footings and foundation is 3 feet from the side property <br />line. This property line is also the right-of-way line for <br />Highway 36. <br /> <br />3. The Minor Variance Committee unanimously recommended approval <br />of the variance. The Committee believed it was reasonable to <br />use the existing garage foundation and floor for the new <br />garage especially in light of the fact that the garage backs <br />up to the Highway 36 right-of-way. certainly removing lead <br />based paint from the communi ty must be seen as a great <br />improvement. <br /> <br />5. All affected adjacent property owners indicated their <br />approval of the proposed variance. <br /> <br />Alternatives: <br /> <br />1. Deny the variance based on the finding that no hardship or <br />practical difficulties exist on the site. <br /> <br />2. Grant the variance based on the finding that a hardship or <br />practical difficulty is present on the site. <br /> <br />Policy Obiective: <br /> <br />1. To insure that development occurs consistent with the City's <br />zoning ordinances and comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />2. To grant variances where hardship and/or practical <br />difficulties exist. <br />
