<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />8-09-93 <br /> <br />ITEM NO.: lJ - ól.J <br /> <br />Department Approval: <br /> <br />Manager Reviewed: <br /> <br />Agenda section: <br /> <br />¥ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Consent <br /> <br />Item Description: <br /> <br />Linda Luna request for a minor variance at 1259 <br />Oakcrest Avenue. <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />1. City ordinances require that the sideyard setback for attached garages be <br />5 feet from the property line. <br /> <br />2. Mrs. Luna would like to put a 7 foot 2 inch wide addition onto her existing <br />garage. This would require a 2 foot 10 inch sideyard variance. <br /> <br />3. The Minor Variance Committee unanimously recommended approval of the <br />variance. It was the Committee's belief that Mrs. Luna's addition would <br />allow them to have a two car garage and decrease on-street parking in the <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />4. All affected adjacent property owners indicated their approval of the <br />proposed variance. <br /> <br />Alternatives: <br /> <br />1. Deny the variance based on the finding that no hardship or practical <br />difficulty exists on the site. <br /> <br />2. Grant the variance based on the finding that a hardship or practical <br />difficulty is present on the site. <br /> <br />Policy Objective: <br /> <br />1. To insure that development occurs consistent with the City's zoning <br />ordinances and comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />2. To grant variances where hardship and/or practical difficulties exist. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />1. It is recommended that the City Council approve Linda Luna's request for 2 <br />foot 10 inch minor variance for a garage addition at 1259 Oakcrest Avenue. <br /> <br />Council Action Requested: <br /> <br />1. Motion to approve Linda Luna's request for a 2 foot 10 inch minor variance <br />for a garage addition at 1259 Oakcrest Avenue. <br />
