In December,while digging for the foundation the builder encountered a damaged <br /> sanitary sewer line. Additionally, the builder discovered that the sewer line was not centered <br /> within the utility easement as had been expected. As a result the location of the proposed home <br /> would not allow for the desired 10-foot separation between the foundation and the sewer line. <br /> The logical solution was to adjust the angle of the home 7.8 feet in the rear to move it 10 feet <br /> away from the sewer line rather than revise the house plans. This results in a 37.8' setback on <br /> the northwest side and a 24 foot setback on the southeast side where a 30 foot setback is <br /> required. The builder is also the owner of the adjacent property to the southeast which is the <br /> property affected by the reduced set back. <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> LOT ANALYSIS WORSHEET <br /> Lot Area/Width: <br /> PRD/RR-iB Lot Area Lot Width <br /> Required 87,120 s.f. (2 acres) 200' <br /> Actual 84,130 s.f. (1.93 acres) ±160' <br /> Setbacks: <br /> PRD/RR-16 Required Proposed/Existing <br /> Front 35' 35.3' <br /> Storm Pond 35' 45' <br /> Northwest Side 30' 37.8' <br /> Southeast Side 30' 24' <br /> Structural Covera�e: <br /> The proposed home is approximately 4%of the lot area and conforms to the structural coverage <br /> limitations. <br /> Side Yard Setback Variance <br /> The Creekside development was approved as a Planned Residential Development (PRD) with <br /> reduced front yard setbacks but the RR-1B separation between buildings with 30-foot required <br /> side setbacks was maintained. In order to avoid the existing sewer line, the home as <br /> constructed encroaches 6 feet into the required side setback with a 6' x 18' (108 s.f.) portion of <br /> the home. The remainder of the home meets all required setbacks. <br /> Practical Difficulties Analysis <br /> In considering applications for variante, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of <br /> the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and <br /> anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danqer of fire, risk to the public safety, and the <br /> effect on values of property in the surroundinq area. The Planning Commission shall consider <br /> recommending approval for variances from ihe literal provisions of the Zoning Code in <br /> instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical di�culties because of <br />
