REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 02-10-97 ITEM NO.: C-l Mana Agenda Section: Consent Judy Adams and Sharon Duranly request for a minor variance at 2865-67 North Pascal Street. Background 1. Judy Adams and Sharon Duranly each own half of a two family dwelling at 2865- 67 North Pascal Street. The property is zoned R-2 Two Family and is designated for low density residential in the City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The site in question backs up to a cul-de-sac on Centennial Drive. The applicants are proposing to construct an 11 foot by 24 foot sunroom and a 3 foot deck on the rear of the existing two family dwelling which will be shared by both of the owners. The existing structure has a 25 foot rear yard setback which is 5 feet short of the 30 foot ordinance requirement. The ordinance allows uncovered decks to be no closer than 10 feet to a street right-of-way line. The proposed deck would be 13 feet from street right-of-way so no variance is necessary for the deck. Variance Request Summary Requirement Proposal Variance 30 foot rear yard setback 14 foot rear yard setback 16 foot rear yard setback variance 2. The Minor Variance Committee has reviewed this request and has unanimously recommended approval of a 16 foot rear yard setback variance to allow the construction of an 11 foot by 24 foot sunroom on the rear of the existing two family dwelling at 2865-67 North Pascal Street. The committee found that there was a hardship present because of the unusual configuration and lack of lot depth present because the lot backs up to the cul-de-sac on Centennial Drive. The sunroom would have a sufficient separation from adjacent structures. There are no reasonable alternative locations for the proposed sunroom. 3. All affected adjacent properties have been notified and have given their written consent for the proposed variance request. I
