June 15, 1984
Case No: 84 -22
Applicant: Gary J. Duda
Location: 1413 Cambridge Street
Subject: Variance to exceed maximum square footage of a garage
Staff Findings & Comments: Anderson - Kerrigan
1. Applicant is requesting a variance to construct a 18' x 30' addition to existing
garage of 18' x 22'. The property is located at 1413 Cambridge Street and is
zoned R -2.
2. The applicant is proposing a 30 foot addition to the existing garage. This
addition would decrease the rear yard setback from existing 33'6" to 3'6
The side yard on the proposed addition would range from 4'2" to 3'.
3. Ordinance 427.08(4) states that no detached accessory building in any district
shall be located closer than two feet from any side or rear lot line. The pro -
posed addition will be within the minimum setback requirements.
4. The current garage is 396 square feet. The square footage with the proposed
addition will consist of 936 square feet.
5. .Ordinance 427.08(3) states that accessory building to a residential structure
shall not exceed an aggregate area of 528 square feet. A variance of 408 square
feet is needed.
6. The site of the proposed addition is 8160 square feet. Ordinance 427.07 makes
the site a legal lot. However, the minimum required lot size for a lot if it
were platted in an R -2 District today is 12,000 square feet.
7. Ordinance 427.23 states that variances shall be approved only by circumstances
unique to the property under consideration would cause undue hardship to owner.
The applicant has stated that here is no undue hardship realized.

• FOR VARIANCE APPLICATION ONLY
NOTE: The purpose of a variance is to provide relief to a property owner when
the strict enforecment of the Zoning Ordinance would cause.an undue
ship to the property owner or deny reasonable use of the property.
Hardship to the applicant is the crucial test. Variances will be granted
only in unusual situations which were not foreseen when the Zoning Ordin-
ance was adopted. Economic situations are seldom unique and are rarely
considered a valid hardship.
