CASE # 1 REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM FRONT AND SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENTS; CASE OF EUGENE DUBOIS By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Mr. Eugene Dubois is proposing to construct an addition to his attached garage that would encroach on the 10 foot side yard setback by 7 feet and the 40 foot front yard setback by 10 feet. The following items are enclosed for your information and review: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Certificate of Survey Proposed site plan Proposed findings of fact Proposed variance Observations: Mr. Dubois' problem is that the dwelling unit and attached garage were sited on the lot in such a manner that any expansion to the garage side of the structure is prohibitive without encroaching on setbacks. As a matter of fact, the existing home and attached garage were inaccurately sited on the lot at the time of their construction and consequently there is already an encroachment of the front yard setback. To construct an accessory garage on the opposite side of the lot is not consistent with the existing development on the lot and would create a need for a second driveway. In addition, the rear yard is adjacent to a flood fringe area and is subject to flooding. The total area of the ear%e and proposed expansion to the garage are within the limits established in City Code. Recommendation: City Staff recommends approval of the variance.
