These variances are required to rebuild any home on this property. <br />Side Street Setback Variance <br />The applicants have proposed a 40’x 65 ’ home situated with the front door facing <br />Dickinson Street and the garage accessing off of Keene Avenue. This proposal meets the <br />50 ’ front and rear yard setbacks as well as the 30 ’ side yard setback. However the <br />proposed house does not meet the required 50 ’ side street setback rather is proposed to be <br />located at 3S ’from the side street property line and 52.5’ from the traveled right-of-way. <br />Additionally, the curb cut of the driveway is not permitted at a width greater than 20 ’ at <br />the street. The driveway as proposed would need to be reduced at the curb. <br />Hardship Statement <br />Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and <br />should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br />Hardship Analysis <br />In eonMUtrlMg appMcatkuu fw vaHtmee, ikg Phmnlng Coittmisslon sknll consider Ike effect of Ike <br />proposed vorlonce upon Ike keoHk, sofety ond wetfore of Ike conumnlty, exIsHng ond oniMpoled iroffic <br />condMons, Kgkl ond otr, donger of fire, risk lo ikepnNIc sffeiy, ond Ike fffea on volnes of properly in <br />tke snrronnding oreo, Tke Plonning ConnnIssloH skoll consider recommending opproval for rorlonces <br />from Ike Nlerol provisions of Ole Zoning Code In Inslonces wkere Ikeir siHcl enforcemeni wonid cense <br />nndne kerdskip keconse of clrcnrnsmnces nnigne lo Ike Individnel pn^rly under conslderolhn, end <br />skelt recommend epprevel only wken d Is demonslreled Ikel suck ecllons will be In keeping wllk Ike <br />spird end Inleni of Ike Orone Zoning Code. <br />Staff finds that there is hardship to justify granting the lot area and lot width variances as <br />the property is a small lot, similar to the rest of the lots in the immediate small lot <br />neighborhood located within a 2-acre zoning district. Regarding the side street setback <br />variance, should the Planning Commission find that due to orientation of the property, the <br />immediate neighborhood, and the nature of the dead end side street there is hardship <br />justifying a 35 ’ side street setback a variance may be warranted. <br />Issues for CoosidcratioH <br />Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br />mWi»I imi 1111 • > II irWii I'l ii i~> I
