The front yard setback variance is needed to permit a front yard setbacic of 20 feet when 35 feet is <br /> norrnally required, 25 feet currently exists, and 25 feet was approved by variance in 1995. The applicant <br /> is proposing a S' by 25' addition to the front end of the existing attached garage and a 10' by 23' addition <br /> attached to the north side of the attached garage. The proposal also includes incoiporating living space <br /> above the new three-stall attached garage, The application includes a request to extend the existing <br /> attached garage five feet for�vard and constructing an additional stall to the north,which requires an <br /> additional five-foot encroachment on the 25-foot setbacic. � <br /> Staff recommends denial of the request. In Staff's opinion, adequate hardship has not been demonstrated <br /> to allow a further encroaehment on the previously approved front yard setback of 25 feet. Staff suggests <br /> the Planning Commission discuss the reasonableness of granting variances to allow for three-stall <br /> garages. <br /> Courneya had nothing to add to Staff's report. <br /> There�vere no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Rahn stated he is in agreement with Staffs recommendation and that it is dif�cult to approve the <br /> additional encroachment and living space, Ra�vz indicated he would be more receptive to the proposal �f <br /> there were not a further encroachment to the front. <br /> Coumeya stated in 1995,they did not realize how far the house was physically located from the road, <br /> Lourneya stated the 22-foot garage is not functional and that he �vould have asl:ed for an additional five <br /> feet at the time the �araje ���as originally proposed had he realized how the garage�vould be limited in <br /> space. <br /> Pt��E 2� <br />
