The variance will not impair health, safety, comfort or morals. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The lots were platted and approved prior to current zoning requirements. The request for lot area and hardcover variances have previously been approved by resolution. Issues 1.Lots 1 and 2 combined consist of 1.1 acres. If the lots were combined, the lot area, width and hardcover requirements would be met. The lots were granted lot area variances and Lot 2 was granted a hardcover variance to allow 30% hardcover in 1987. The resolution is attached (attachment H). The issue of lot width for Lot 1 was not discussed. No other variances have been granted. 3.If the variances are renewed, a lot width variance would also be required as Lot I does not meet the 140' requirement. The non-conforming side setback of 9.3' for Lot 2 is not an issue with this application. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the renewal of variances and a variance for lot width with several amendments and conditions. Staff recommends approval of the lot area variances of .61 acres for Lot 1 and .38 acres for Lot 2 allowing the lots to be .39 acres and .62 acres, respectively. The .39 acre total for Lot 1 is the sum of contiguous area. Staff recommends approval of the lot width variance for Lot 1 of 30’ to allow the lot continue to be 110’ in width. Staff recommends the hardcover variance to allow the existing hardcover on Lot 2, in excess of 30% be denied. Sufficient amounts of rock landscaping, the patio and driveway shall be removed to comply with the 25% hardcover requirement in the 75 ’ to 250 ’ if Lot 1 is sold separately. Staff recommends the fence located within public right of way on Lot 1 shall be M2283 Gary and Bonnie Birnbaum 2695 Kelly Avenue yanances 9/15/9^ Pages -■ •“ —rt—.—1
