Primary Issues to consider.
o What are the specifics of the variance request?
The applicant's property is located on a corner lot.
Wayside Road is the front yard and Hollyhock Lane is the
side yard. Wayside Road is the front yard because by the
Zoning Ordinance definition the shortest dimension of the
two roads is the front yard. Because Wayside Road is the
front yard, the area where the applicant is proposing to
construct the addition would be considered the rear yard.
This portion of the lot abuts the side yard of the property
to the south.
The applicant's property is located in an R -1 -D zoning
district which requires a 40 foot rear yard setback. The
applicant is proposing to have a 23'6" rear yard setback
with the addition.
The proposed addition has the minimum setback for the side
yard setback.
o Does the applicant have any alternatives?
The applicant could construct a detached building within 3
feet of any side or rear property line. The Zoning
Ordinance allows detached buildings closer to the lot line
than the principal building. In this case it may seem not
logical. However this section of the Zoning Ordinance was
written to allow detached buildings to be constructed on
smaller lots with access directly to the alley.
o Does the applicant's property have a undue hardship?
The Zoning Ordinance requires that the Commission must find
that an undue hardship exists for the granting of a
variance.
The Zoning Ordinance defines undue hardship as the
following: undue hardship as used in connection with the
granting of a variance means the property in question cannot
be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed
by the official controls, the plight of the landowner is due
to circumstances unique to his property not created by the
landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the locality.
The applicant does not have any unique circumstance to his
1111 property and the applicant is creating the situation for the
variance.

o Does the applicant have reasonable use of the property?
The, applicant currently has a large home with a 30 foot
attached garage. The applicant does have reasonable use of
the property.
o Have the surrounding properties owners been approached?
The applicant has contacted some of the neighbors, it
appears none are opposed to the addition.
Alternatives.
1. By recommending approval of the variance, the City
Council will consider a recommendation of approval for
the variance.
2. By recommending denial of the variance, the City
Council will consider a recommendation of denial for
the variance.
3. Continue for further information. If the Commission
indicates that further information is needed the item
410 should be continued.
