Paul Berggren, 585 Old Crystal Bay Rd S <br />- Variance - Public Hearing <br />Zoning District - RR-1B, Single family rural residential, 2 acre, <br />unsewered <br />Application - Request for side setback variance to construct <br />attached enclosed porch 15' from the side lot line where a <br />30' side setback is normally required. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit <br />A <br />- Application <br />Exhibit <br />B <br />- Letter of Request <br />Exhibit <br />C <br />- Plat Map <br />Exhibit <br />D <br />- Property Owners List <br />Exhibit <br />E <br />- Survey/Site Plan <br />Exhibit <br />F <br />- Enlarged Survey <br />Exhibit <br />G <br />- Building Plans <br />Pertinent Facts - <br />1. Applicant requests a 15' side setback variance to construct <br />a porch addition to the front side of the house, where a 30' <br />side setback is normally required. <br />2. The proposed porch addition meets the required 50' front lot <br />line setback from Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />3. Existing house is located such that any additions to the <br />north half of the existing house would require a side <br />setback variance, the existing house being only 14.4' from <br />the north side lot line. This house was constructed in 1970 <br />when the property was zoned R-1C, requiring 1 acre lot size <br />and only a 10' side setback. <br />Discussion - <br />Please review the applicant's letter of request, noting h-s <br />reasons for the variance request. The hardship is the location <br />of the existing house nea, he side lot line. Planning <br />Commission may wish to ask aF -.nt to discuss reasons why this <br />addition could not be locate_ aewhere along the south half of <br />the house.- Two probable reasons include topography and the <br />internal layout of the house. <br />_SePnt Sr w OF- N� <br />DRAVCWA-, LnC.
