Cdi.fron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />October 13, 1987 <br />#984 Joe Sawchuck, 4105 Watertown Road - <br />Variance - Continuation of Public Hearing (neighboring property <br />owners have been notified of this continued hearing) <br />Appl^ucation - Request for side setback variances to contruct a horse barn <br />and storage shed structure. <br />Zoning District - RR-IA, 5-acres <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Application <br />Exhibit B - Plat Map <br />Exhibit C - Property Owners List <br />Exhibit D - Survey Submitted by Applicant <br />Exhibit E - Memo and Exhibits of 10/15/85 <br />Exhibit F - Planning Commission Minutes of 10/21/87 <br />Exhibit G - Survey With Staff Sketch of Approximate Neighboring House <br />Locations <br />Pertinent Facts - <br />Property Area = approximately 8 acres <br />Lot Width = approximately 260' <br />Proposed Barn Location Site #A to the southeast = 37' side setback <br />(2 other proposed barn locations appear to be within 10-30' of <br />west or east side lot lines) <br />Required Horse Barn Setback = 75' from the nearest lot line and 150' <br />from the nearest adjacent residence <br />Each of locations A, B, and C are less than 75' from the lot line but <br />all of them would appear to meet the 150' setback from adjacent <br />residences . <br />Discussion - <br />Applicant has not discussed reasons why the animal housing structure <br />cannot be located at least 75' from the side lot lines. The lot width of <br />260' would leave an area of about 110' in width down the center of the <br />property that would seem to be usable for a barn without the need for a <br />variance at all. Planning Commission should request that the applicant <br />describe his justification and hardship for locating the proposed barn <br />close to a lot line.
