Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: <5^268 Robert T. Callan, 2995 Deer Run Trail - Variance - Resolution <br />Zoning District: RR-IB, Single Family Rural Residential, 2 acres, unsewered. <br />Application: Request for front setback variance for construction of a new single family residence <br />on this back lot. <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Resolution <br />B - Notice of Planning Commission Action <br />C - Memo and Exhibits of 7/14/97 <br />Summary of Request <br />Please review the memo and exhibits of July 14th. Briefly, principal structure setbacks for this <br />3-acre back lot are required to be 150% of the zoning district requirements. Therefore, the front <br />yard setback is required to be 75 ’ rather than 50 ’. Due to the location of the outlot driveway, the <br />east lot line of the property is by definition considered the front lot line. This is some what <br />incongruous with the neighborhood, since the east and west lot lines of all other lots on the south <br />side of Deer Run Trail are side lot lines. <br />Applicant requests that the 75 ’ setback from the east lot line be reduced to 45 ’, which is 150% <br />of the side yard requirement, therefore still meeting the separation intent of the back lot ordinance. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />Planning Commission recommended approval, finding that, as long as applicant orients his house <br />similarly with those in the neighborhood, the reduced east setback will have no negative impacts. <br />Additional justification for the variance is to allow the house to be placed where it will not i. - into <br />the knoll on the west side of the property. <br />Sta^ Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval per the attached resolution.
