Curtis stated the applicant is requesting lot width, lot area, and a side street setback variance in order to rebuild a new single-family residence on a property 135 feet side and .60 acre where 200 feet of width and two acres are required.

Additionally, if the Planning Commission finds the 50-foot side street setback requirement to be a hardship for this property, a side street setback variance would be appropriate.

Hpffinan inquired whether he could have a 35-foot sdback rather than 30 feet from the street. / Rahn inquired why the applicant is requesting the additional five feet. ^Hoffman indicated there are steep slopes in that area. Hoffman noted the existing residence is located seven or eight feet ftom Keene Avenue. There were no public comments regarding this application. Rahn commented he does not have a problem with this application with the 30-foot setback. Bremer inquired whether the footprint would remain the same. Hoffman indicated he is considering adding five feet to the house. Rahn stated he would be opposed to adding to the existing footprint.
