Olson, 3640 Bayside Road - <br />vzriance - Public Hearing <br />Zoning District - LR-lA, 2-acre <br />Application - Side setback variance to construct a room addition <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit.

E - Topography and Layout of Nearby Lots <br />Exhibit F - Hardcover Calculations <br />Exhibit G - Septic Layout <br />Pertinent Facts: <br />Left Side Setback <br />I.ot Size: 2.0 Acres <br />Required = 30' <br />Propos,�d = 19.9' <br />Variance = 10.1' or 34% <br />Discussion: <br />The applicants are requestl;;g a side setback variance in <br />order to construct an addition to their existing home. They note <br />that steep grades uphill and downhill from the house, the <br />location of existing trees, drainage, and well location are <br />factors that present hardships resulting in the lc--ation of the <br />proposed addition. <br />The addition is for a new kitchen. Note that applicants <br />installed a new septic system in 1981 which is working well. <br />The impact of the variance on the only prop.rty affected, <br />immediately west of the house, appears to be very minimal. The <br />neighboring lot is vacant, and based on the topography the likely <br />place for a house on it would be centrally located, hence no <br />significant encroachment on sunlight or air is apparent. Nor <br />would the addition have any effect on the development on the <br />vacant lot. <br />This house was constructed many years prior to the plat of <br />"Riede I'a Stubbs Pay Addition" in 1975, which created a <br />conforming setback but did not anticipate future additions. <br />
