already demolished the existing house and excavated the site
for the foundation. Moving the building 10 feet back to
comply with the 25-foot setback would reduce his rear yard.
In response to a question, he explained that he eventually
expected to make both lots legal size. After further
questions, Acting Chairman Lewis closed the public hearing.
Mr. Lacey moved to deny the request for the variance, citing
the following findings:
1. The subject parcel is larger than the typical lot in
the RS-7 Zone and is rectangular in shape; therefore,
there are no special circumstances related to the size,
shape or location of the parcel which restrict the use
right of a single-family residential structure.
2. The variance would grant a special privilege of a
significantly reduced front yard to an interior lot,
which privilege is not common to newer homes in this
vicinity or in the RS-7 Zone.
Acting Chairman Lewis seconded the motion, which passed 2 -
1, with Mr. Pazan voting "No".
