Gundlach stated the lot is approximately one-half acre in size in a <br /> one-acre zone and is 76 feet in width at the 75-foot setback. The side street setback variance is being <br /> requested to permit a setback of 23 feet when 35 feet is normally required and three feet currently exists. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the request for the lot area and lot width variances,but recommends denial <br /> of the side street setback variance. Gundlach noted the existing residence does not meet the required <br /> setback but that there is adequate building area within the required setbacks to construct a reasonably <br /> sized residence but would require a redesign of the house. <br /> Mrs.Klint had nothing to add to Staff's report. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Rahn stated in his view there is an adequate building pad and that the lot is more suitable for a longer <br /> shaped house. Rahn stated there does not appear to be a hardship inherent with the land. <br /> Kempf stated he has seen more difficult building pads than this one and that some consideration should be <br /> given to a different design. <br /> PAGE 16 <br />
