' #930 Shaver Pare 2 July 5, 1985 we actually learn of the actual location of the wetland and the newly defined building envelope. The resolution further states that the lot is "not buildable without one or more variancf,L; from the existing zoning code". The resolution also finds that if the lot was developed per all performance standards that it would be in keeping with the intent of the Community Management Plan. Planning Commission did not formally address the need to grant a variance to Section 10.55, Subdivision i� A, 2 but did in their discussion of the application make the necessary findings to grant the variance. Note the following suggested findings: 1 . The City would not require lot area variance review for an LR-IC property if it contained 80% or 17,424 square feet in area (required 21,780 sf). 2. Sewer has been approved for the property --Resolution #1181 should have addressed the need for a variance to this section at the time sewer was approved for the property. In approving sewer to the property, the City in effect deemed the lot buildable. The question of buildability at this stage becomes a moot point. Rear Setback Variance - Section 10.23, 'ubdivision 6B Required = 50' Proposed = 37' Variance = II' or 16% The applicant cl?,rt=s the dry buildable land or building envelope of this lot is severely restricted making it impossible to locate a moderate ho.ise (approxi -iat- ly 2, 700 sf of building pad) in comparison of s.. rounding West Ferndait. neighborhood and meet required setbacks. The total dry buildable is 20,700 square feet or not quite a half -acre and the building envelope is designated with two acre lot setback standards. There is no doubt that i, house could be placed within this building envelope without the need of setbacks. The most affected neighbor to the north has no problem with the variance setback and approved of the project (confirmed by -, meeting with staff at the office.) The Planning Commission approved the rear setback variance application of Jim Shaver based on the following findings and hardships: 1. The dry buildable area is less than a 112 e, but subject to two acre setback standards.
