Overview The applicant is proposing to construct an addition to the south side of the existina home at 143 Niilth A��enue I��orth. The front 5�ard setback in the R-1-A zoning district is 25 feet The existing l�ome has an enclosed porch ���ith a front ��ard setback of 12' 9" and the livable area front yard setback is 19` 10".

The subject property is zoned R-1-A, Single and Two-Family High Density. The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Low Density Residential. The proposed use complies with both documents. • What does the ordinance require? The R-1-A district requires a minimum front yard setback of 25 feet. � What are the specifics of the applicant's request? The applicant is requesting a 5' 2" variance to construct the addition in line with the existing home. • What practical difficuldes does the property have? The new state statute requires three standards for the granting of a variance. The three requirements are: � 1. That practical difficulties cited in connection with the granting of a variance means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control; 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property,not created by the landowner; and 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The applicant meets the three requirements to grant a variance. Surrounding uses The site is surrounded by single family homes. Alternatives 1. Recommend approval of the front yard variance. By recommending approval of the front yard variance, the City Council will consider a recommendation of approval. 2. Recommend denial of the front yard variance. By recommending denial of the front yard variance, the City Council will consider a recommendation of denial. If the Planning Commission considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that support this alternative. ^ 3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further information is needed, the item should be continued. �� i� i� !oil g � �I � I � P� onnw�xu rirm�r nr. �"xnaraiairi`au�uennN i�sr�rn'v�rx � -• 11 •• lJ (;IXlftNtY .UJWHOIVIY 19fiFN(CH4, MH 553RD ' 4�A K ... . � . .
