The right <br />of way line is where the front yard setback is measured from. Homes have been constructed all <br />setback at an average distance of 40-45* from the property line. A line is drawn on Exhibit C to <br />indicate the average distance from Willow Drive South for each home on the east side of the road. <br />The Zoning Code has a provision that states lots in any district, where the average depth of at <br />least two existing front yards or buildings within 150* of the lot and within the same block the <br />required front yard shall not be less the average depth of existing front yards. Technically, the <br />building would need a variance to encroach closer to the street than those on adjacent properties. <br />I • <br />It is believed the intent of 10.75, Subdivision 4 (C) is to create a consistent appearance to the <br />neighboriiood, and would not allow one house to block the view of the street from another. The <br />proposed two story structure would encroach 18* beyond the average distance of adjacent buildings. <br />Garage Location: <br />A second variance is requested to permit an addition to a detached garage. The addition to the garage <br />would create a building larger than 750 s.f requiring a minimum 15' side yard setback. Based on the <br />size of the existing garage the building is only encroaching into the setback by 1.5'. The intent of the <br />ordinance to require a greater setback of 15' fbr larger buildings, is to limit massing close to property <br />lines. <br />Statement of Hardship: <br />The applicants have submitted their Statement of I^Iardship attached at Exhibit O. <br />*2579 James and Candace Kemnr <br />I no Willow Drive South <br />Variances <br />May IS. 2000 <br />patt-3 <br />J <br />J
