Rec[ulres front setback variance. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A <br />Exhibit B <br />Exhibit C <br />Exhibit D <br />Planring Commission Action Notice of 6/22/89 <br />Letter from Neighbor Ian Booth 6/16/89 <br />Proposed Resolution <br />Memo & Exhibits of 6/14/89 <br />Discussion - <br />Please review the memo and exhibits of June 14, 1989. Mr. <br />Barr originally proposed to construct a garage exceeding the <br />1,000 square foot floor area maximum, adjacent to another <br />existing detached garage. Last fall. Council referred this back <br />to Planning Commission pending receipt of a revised proposal <br />needing less variances. <br />Applicant is now proposing to construct a detached garage of <br />exactly 1,000 square feet in floor area, with no storage space <br />above. He has proposed a location at the end of the existing <br />driveway 15' from the existing detached gara^^e, which allows this <br />new garage to be developed without exceeding the 25% hardcover <br />limit. <br />The variance needed with this current request is a front <br />setback variance. Since "Maple Avenue" dead-ends at this <br />property, we would view the right-of-way similarly to a cul-de- <br />sac, and would require a 30* front setback from the pro:)erty line <br />abutting the right-of-way. The proposed garage will i>e 15' from <br />the right-of-way. <br />Technically, we are also looking at a variance to allow the <br />garage to be closer to the front lot line than the existing <br />house. The configuration of the lot in relationship to the lake <br />and tru road muddles this issue, however, staff feels that <br />technically this variance is required. <br />Planning Commission at their June 19th meeting, recommended <br />5-0 to approve this proposal, based on the following conditions: <br />1. Approval of front setback variances.
