JJ1 MINOR VARIANCE COMMITTEE 3.1 The request for the variance included the required application form, sketch of the property and proposed garage addition, written statement from the applicant, and written approval from the adjacent property owners affected by the variance (Ellen and Roger Lillemoen at 3050 Little Bay Road). 3.2 The Minor Variance Committee reviewed this request on September 16, 1997, and unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to reduce the side yard setback to 2.5 feet for the purpose of constructing a 7.5' x 26.3' addition to an attached garage at 3170 Sandy Hook, based on the following findings: 1. The irregular shape of the parcel, the topography of the parcel, and the location of the existing driveway and attached garage creates a practical difficulty for the applicant. 2. The width of the driveway will not exceed 26 feet at the property line. 3. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 4. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. 4Jl SUGGESTED ACTION 4.1 By motion, approve Edward Zoerb's request for a minor variance to reduce the side yard setback to 2.5 feet for the purpose of constructing a 7.5' x 26.3' addition to an attached garage at 3170 Sandy Hook, based on the findings of the Minor Variance Committee outlined in section 3.2 of this report.
