(0.93 acre)/ 110' Lot Area/Width: <br />Application Summary: Applicants have revised their plans by eliminating the request for a <br />right (south) side setback variance, and are proposing a left (north) side setback of 18' where <br />30' would normally be required, i.e. a variance of 12'. The request still includes lot area and <br />lot width variances to construct a new residence on the property. This will be a teardown and <br />total rebuild. <br />Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the lot area and width variances. <br />Planning Commission should determine whether there is sufficient hardship or justification to <br />recommend granting of the side setback variance. <br />Pertinent Code Sections <br />Section 78-420(b ): RR-lB Standards: <br />Required Lot Area: 2.0 acres <br />Required Lot Width: 200' <br />Required Side Yard: 30' <br />List of Exhibits <br />A -Revised survey/site plan <br />B -Revised plans and elevation views <br />C -PC Action Notice 4-21-05 <br />D -Draft PC Minutes of April 18 Meeting <br />E-Memo and Exhibits of 4-14-05 <br />Background <br />Lot Area and Width Variances.
