The applicants replaced an existing second story deck above the walk out level in fall 1988. This deck is in approximately the same location as a pre-existing deck which was in poor condition. Upon discovering the new deck. Building Inspector Lyle Oman informed the applicants that a building permit was required and review of the building permit applicatiuxi ultimately showed the need for a variance. 2. The existing house, and presumably tle old deck, were constructed in 1972, when thi^ pioperty was zoned R-lA, single family, 2 acre minimum lot size with the same 50' front and rear and 30' side setbacks currently in effect. Staff has been able to find no documentation that a variance was granted to build on the lot, however a .^ailding permit was issued and the house was built in 1972. Note that the subdivision had been filed in 1948, prior to adoption of any specific zoning requirements. The existing lot size is approximately 0.5 acre.
