� �� Jun� 4, 1969 C�S E NO: APPLICANT: LOCATiO N: �� .517-69 1= . A . H uset Northwest Corner of Ryan Avenue and Aldine Street ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of sideyard Variance PI.ANNING CON;iIDERATIONS: 1. The property in question is a corner lot with $4 feet of fruntage on Aldine Street 4nd 132 feet of frontage on Ryan �4venue. The applicant propo:;es fio construct a house 51 feet in width with 10 feet of side yard setback on the interior lot iine leaving 23 feet contiguous to Ryan Avenue. The Ordinance, of course, r=auires 30 feet of setback along Ryan Avenue under these conditions. 2. Obviously this is one of those problems created by an inadequate corner lot. Th�s is the reason the current regulations require a 100 foot corner lat so as to provide this additional setbacke 3. The applicant has not submifted any detailed plans for the house, but has merely indicated the overall dimensions. We would sugg�st that the applicant be questioned as to the handling of the driveway and garage conditions in particular. As has been generally done in the past; if theapplicant can show that it does not harm anyone; and results in him being 4ble to develop a better home on the site, the application may b� a reasonable one. Alfhough single family lots are frequently inadequate for the scale of development proposed, it is generally better to encourage the �onstruction of the larger homes and adequate garage fpcilities so as to make the lot as good a place �o live as possible.
