She indicated that staff would <br />recommend denial of the request as submitted;i however, staff would recommend approval of a <br />front yard setback variance of 77' which would not increase the existing non- confornung front yard <br />setback. <br />James Olson read from his prepared statement that it was their intent to increase the curb appeal of <br />their home, maximize space; and minimize impacts on views with their design. He urged the <br />Council to support their request, since they own a 3.5 acre property in the 5 acre zone. Olson <br />pointed out that the 72' setback would not impact any views for him or his neighbors and that they <br />had provided written acknowledgement of their support and indicated their surprise that he needed <br />variance approval at all. I <br />Sansevere asked what staff's objection to the 72' was. <br />Gaffron stated that the applicant would be increasing a non- conformancy. <br />Mayor Peterson noted that the current layout If the home would be dramatically impacted if the <br />applicant were forced to satisfy code. I <br />Olson stated that, due to the angle of the hom6 on the site, it is not easy to reposition the addition <br />without further encroaching on setbacks, the septic site, or adversely impacting existing trees. In <br />addition, repositioning the garage addition would impact views from the back of the house and <br />deck. <br />White stated that the planning commission had a difficult time coming up with a hardship after a <br />great deal of discussion.
