Gaf.fron, As::istant Planning & Zoning Administrator June 2, 1987 #1056 Olai Hanson, 1390 Railroad Avenue - Variance - Request for Reconsideration of Tabling of 9/8/86 Application: Side setback variance to construct a detached garage. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Request From Applicant's Attorney 3/12/87 Exhibit B - Council Minutes of 9/8/86 Exhibit C - Memo & Exhibits of 9/5/86 At Issue: Mrs. Francis Golden, neighbor adjacent to the affected side lot line, disputes lot line location and opposes variance due to location of gard,�n near lot line that would lose benefit of sunlight. Prior Council Action: Council tabled this request on 9/8/86 until applicant and neighbor resolve lot line dispute. Current Request: Applicant's attorney requests City Council to reconsider tabling action and give applicant direction whether the variance would be granted under the most restrictive possible lot line outcome (if variance would ultimately be denied regardless, they might not pursue litigation with neighbor to resolve lot line). Pertinent. Pacts: Lot line dispute overlap: 2.9' (2111") Required side setback: 10' Proposed setback based on applicant's survey: 619" Proposed setback based on Gol.den's survey: 3'10" Proposed N.F. garage corner (applicant's survey): 9'4" Proposed N.F. garage corner (Golden's survey): 6'5" Applicant's Stated Hardships: 1) Moving garage to meet 10' setback will create a problem maneuvering car into garage due to proximity to house. A backup apron between house and garage is feasible to make maneuvering easier (this hardship was considered by Planning Commission in their review). 2) The location of the former seFt dnKs and drainfield limits the south and east extent of the garage slab or foundation because cf t:Ie disturbed soil. according to the applicant. This has not been verified by an engineer. (This infor.nation was not brought up by applicant until after the Planning Commission review.)
