�� CITY QF URUNO REsor.trr�o�vT oF T�crrY couxcn. �� ,.�' No. 6 6 5 9 '�x�SHo�-�c A8. The Qwners are proposing to meet the required 50' rear yard setback. The front setback variaace is for a setback of 20.4 feet for the porch,with the bulk of the house being 26 feet from the street lot line. This setback is generally in line with the existing house to the immediate north, and is typical of many other lots in the neighborhood, which have front setbacks ranging from 17-18 feet to as much as 40-54 feet. The need for the shortened setback is in part due to the topography of the lot and its relation to the `lookout' configuration. With regard to the side setbacks of 25' and 23', these pla�ce th�e house generally centered on the lot, which will avoid visual crowding in the neighborhood. It is notsd that under %Z-acre standards these would be conforming setbacks. A9. In considering this application for variances, the Council has considered the advice and recoxnmendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anti�ipa� tra�� conditions, light and air, danger of fire,risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area.
