<br />J.6~ \ <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 6-14-93 <br /> <br />ITEM NO.: e ~J <br /> <br />Department <br /> <br /> <br />Manager Reviewed: <br /> <br />Agenda section: <br /> <br />~r!J <br /> <br />Consent <br /> <br />Item Description: <br /> <br />Thomas Burkes request for a minor variance at <br />2265 st. Stephens street. <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />1. City Ordinances require that building structures be setback <br />10 feet from a side property line and 30 feet from front <br />property line. In the case of an attached garage, the front <br />yard setback for the garage maybe reduced to 27 feet. <br /> <br />2. Thomas Burke is proposing to construct a new two car attached <br />garage at his home at 2265 st. Stephens Street. currently <br />the house has a single car tuck under garage. To deal with a <br />steep grade and to save an existing mature oak tree Mr. Burke <br />is proposing to build the new garage to within 20 feet at the <br />front property l.ine. To accommodate the width of a two car <br />garage, he is seeking a 3 foot variance from the 10 foot <br />sideyard setback requirement. <br /> <br />3. The Minor Variance committee unanimously recommended approval <br />of the variance. The committee believed it was reasonable to <br />have a two car garage and that given the topography of the <br />lot, a hardship justifying the variances existed. <br /> <br />4. 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 />
