To: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson Proms Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning 6 Zoning Administrator Dates September 13, 1989 Subjects #1454 Bradford Reddick, 2695 Pheasant Road - Variance - Public Hearing Zoning District - LR-lB, Single family lakeshore residential, sewered Application - Request for side setback variance to construct attached garage. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Including Proposed Additions Exhibit E - Hardcover Submittal (Pre-existing) Exhibit F - Staff Hardcover Review Exhibit G - Plans Pertinent Facts - 1. Applicant is requesting a side setback variance of approximately 0.9' in order to construct an attached garage addition (10' side setback required, 9.1' proposed). Also underway but not requiring variances would be some dormers, a family room addition to the rear, and residing. Permits have been issued for portions of the work which do not quire a variance. 2. the proposed garage is 22' in width. One alternative to a variance would have been to reduce the width of the garage. Applicant would prefer the 22' width. 3. Applicant notes that the existing house is not square with the lot lines. If it was, the variance request would not have been necessary. Note that the neighboring adjacent residence is 24' from the lot line, leaving a separation between the proposed garage and the neighboring structure of about 38'. Discussion - The main floor plan of the existing house suggests that significant changes would have to be made to that structure in order to attach the garage at its proposed width but further from the lot line. Also, that would eliminate the access door adjacent to the garage.
