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.
