SUBJECT: r— f Planning Commission ^ Council A. P, Olson, Asst. Zoning Administrator i:3o June 15, 1977 William F. Stewart - 140 Leaf Street Variance - Lot Area § Width Applicant is requesting variances for construction of an addition, an open deck and a detached garage on property presently occupied by his house. Basic lot area and width variances are required for the house addition as follows: sq. ft.; Actual 32,000 sq. ft.; Variance 55,000 sq. ft. (63t) Lot Width Required - 200 ft.; Actual 180 ft.; Variance 20 ft. (10%) ^ Front Setback Required - 50 ft.; Existing 37 ft.; Variance 13 ft. (261) The additi^ ^vould not encroach any setbacks and I see no problems here. There is a very serious question about the proposed garage location. The applicant wants to raise the level or the garage high enough to avoid a driveway grade which he contends is too steep to negotiate in the winter. The problem is the reduction of an already short front setback combined with the opening of garage doors very near to the street. Note also the rise in the road just north of this location. ^ placing the garage bade farther, at least in line with the house, room is left for a turn around. Applicant is worried about foundation and fill costs by building over the exist^g driveway, but site inspection indicates that the retaining wall IS already holding a filled area requiring the same foundation provisions. Garage location requirements:RR-IB Zone - 50 ft. setback 31.380 Absolute miniimjm setback for doors <^)ening to street is 30 ft. - proposed distance is 18 ft. Variance - 32 ft. * 641 and 12 ft. = 40% I - H 'i i 4 LOCATICN OP P Address / ^ Legal Descrii APPLICANT Name (AJi CJ Address / V aVNER llO'iUName______ Address ( Present Zoni Zcxiing Ordin Specify Ordi Explain Reqc Extent of N< pt.-pgDr<l Hardships t< _SiMi pT^ OR 1.
