The existing residence <br />is located entirely outside of the building setb.-:ck area. To locate a new building within the required <br />setback area, the topography would have to be changed because the high point of the lot is w here <br />the house is currently located, A low lying area below the 931 elevation is also in the building <br />setback area. <br />Staff recommends approval of the requested variances and conditional use permit due to the <br />uniqueness of the lot and the existing topography and the reduction of hardcover. <br />H2447 Bichanich for Woodhouse <br />885 Ferndale Road West <br />PC-1/19/99 <br />page—4
