The owner states that internal structural configuration of the residence limits living area in the kitchen. 2. Excessive slope prohibits extension into the rear yard. 3� Location in the kitchen of the breakfast area dictates side yard intrusion. Present Use of the Property: Proposed Use of the Property: STAFF REPORT Residence Remain the same A. Engineering Issues There are no repgrted problem areas relative to structural or utility involvement. All off -site improvements are in place. B. Staff Analysis The request is one of a few which appear on the surface difficult to justify due to the use being one of personal preference. We feel that even though the strict application of hardship requirements say deny the request, there is merit from a human need standpoint. Livability of the residence would be enhanced by this addition. There are no problems with light and air circulation inasmuch as adjacent homes are well separated from this site. C. Staff Recommendation Appproval of requested variance. November 21, 1983 Item No. 2 - Continued BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: The applicant, Mr. Patty, was present and offered additional comments in support of his request. A brief discussion of the proposal followed. A motion was made to approve the application as filed. The vote: 5 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
