Zoning File #1443 August 2 9 ,r+ 4?ftP�., Page 2 of ��`" to the site is viai the west lot line. The front of the house has been designed to face the west lot line. Mr. Talyor also called attention to the fact that the access drive is paved and provides access to Brown Road end if property to the west is developed this would be more then likely the location of a futuia private road. The City must deal with the facts at hand. The property could not be classified as a corner lot. Please review definition of a front lot tine noted above. The lot line adjacent to Fox Street (south iot line) is clearly the front lot line. East and west sides are side lot lines and the rear is the north lot line. In order to meet the requirements of the code the proposed pool house and pool would have to lie setback 120' from the front lot line. The pool house is located approximately 35' in front of the prinicpal structure, review Exhibit I. Review of Finding i Hardships - Applicants addendum notes the following findings and hardships: 1. Access to house is from the west. House was designed with west line as front. 2. Basic house and terrace decks were all located with City approval of alignment and setbacks in 1983. Pool is basically being reconstructed approximately in the same location as original one approved by the City. 3. To move the pool house to the west or the front of t'ie house would hinder the views from the front view windows said detract from the character of the home. 4. House is well screened from box Street on the south and to the east. Staff would like to add the following findings noted during the inspection of the site. 1. The higher elevations to the east and the heavy plantings to the east lessen the impact of the structure placed in the front yard. 2. Location of septic system to the north and west and the required 20' setback separation from drainfield places several limitations on the total realignment of pool and pool house behind 120' setback line. Options of Action - 1. Denial. If variance setback is to be denied, Planning Commission must reference neccesary findings in Section 10.08, Subdivision 3 (A).
