The property is zoned R-1 Single Family and is designated for low density residential development in the City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The house currently has a detached garage, serviced by an 8-1/2 foot wide driveway that is approximately 45 years old. The driveway is presently located 2 feet from the east side yard property line and immediately adjacent to the Varberg house. Mr. Varberg is seeking a 3-1/2 foot driveway setback variance to reconstruct his driveway to a 9 foot width. Variance Request Summary Requirement Proposal Variance 5 foot sideyard setback 1-1/2 foot driveway sideyard setback 3-1/2 foot driveway sideyard setback variance The Minor Variance Committee has reviewed this request and has unanimously recommended approval of a 3-1/2 foot driveway sideyard setback variance to allow for the reconstruction of an existing driveway to 9 feet in width. It was the Committee's belief that the space between the existing house and property line, constitutes a hardship. All affected adjacent properties have been notified and have given their written consent for the proposed variance request. Alternatives: 1. Deny the variance based on findings that no hardships or practical difficulties exist on the site. 2. Grant the variance based on the findings that a hardship or practical difficulty exists on the site.
