3.Section 10.25. Subdivision 6 fB): Variances requested to allow encroachment into the I O' side/rear yard setbacks, and to permit the house to be located 5' from the west side property line. Required Side Setback = 10' Proposed = 5' west property line The proposed house has one garage stall proposed within the house. The 5'.side setback has been requested to provide one additional parking space on the property. The Zoning Code requires residential properties to have 2 off-street parking spaces. To accommodate a second parking space next to the house, a side setback variance is required because the house is shifted towards the west side property line. The parking stall must be located between the house and side property line due to the shared driveway located behind the house. The driveway is narrow and permanent parking within the driveway area would block through traffic. No parking is available on the opposite side of the shared driveway as the land immediately begins to rise to the elevation of North Shore Drive. A typical parking space in a commercial area is 9'X 20' in size. The proposed parking area adjacent to the house is approximately 13'X 20'. 4.Section 10.61. Subdivision 5 ( A): To permit one off-street parking stall to be located 3' from an interior side property line where off-street parking is required to be located 1 O' from a side property line.
