BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT May 16, 1984 Page 2 Mr. Pazan moved to grant the variance to allow reduction of the front year setback requirement from 25 feet to 13.5 feet citing the following findings: 1. The bluff and corner lot location are special circum- stances limiting the use right of building at maximum density within the RS-7 Zone. 2. Since other homes on corner lots in this vicinity encroach upon required yards and the subject property seeks to exercise the use right of maximum allowed densi ty, the variance does not convey a special privilege to this property. 3. The variance will not be materially detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to adjoining properties or improvements. Mr. Lacey seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. V-84(5)6 - DAVID P. BRACKETT - A request to allow a reduction in the side yard setback requirement on Lot 7 from 71 to 2~1; the lot width of Lot 8 be reduced from the required 501 to 47~1; and the lot size requirement of 7,000 square feet be reduced to 6,650 square feet for Lot 8. Location: 1628 West Seventh Street. Mr. VanHemert reviewed the Department Report. Rexroat opened the public hearing. Chairman Mr. Brackett explained that he wants to replat the property to create another building site. Chairman Rexroat closed the public hearing. The Board then asked Mr. Brackett why he did not want to jog the lot lines to create a lot with minimum area. Mr. Brackett responded that he felt a straight lot line was better. The Board and Mr. Brackett then discussed the magnitude of a lot line change to provide adequate air, light and fire protection. Following this discussion, Mr. Lacey moved to grant a variance from 7 feet to 4 feet in the side yard between Lots 7 and 8 adjacent to the existing house on Lot 7, provided that the lot width remain 50 feet from the front setback line to the front property line of Lot 7, and that the lot line between Lots 7 and 8 and 2 feet south of the house is re-established sufficiently toward the interior of Lot 7 so that Lots 7 and B each contain 7,000 square feet. Mr. Pazan seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. . . .

Chairman Bill Roden, representing Mike and Sandi Hansen, explained that the variance would not detrimentally affect anyone. Chairman Rexroat closed the public hearing. Mr. Pazan moved to grant the variance in the front yard setback requirement from 25 feet to 21 feet to allow the construction of a bay window to an existing residence, citing the following findings: 1. The southward orientation of the lot and house front are special circumstances related to the appropriate location of the bay window. 2. The variance does not grant a special privilege to the property because the addition will not significantly expand the living space of the house and other houses in this vicinity and zone do intrude upon their front yards. 3. The bay window will not be injurious to nearby prop- erties or be materially detrimental to the general public. Mr. Lacey seconded the motion which passed unanimously. V-84(5)8 - JAMES O. SULLIVAN - A request to allow a reduction the 251 rear yard setback to 71 to allow the construction of a second story, and a reduction in the side yard setback from 71 to 21 to allow construction of a carport.
