From the rear yard setback provisions of

to permit reduction of the required rear
yard from 25 feet to 11.4 feet.
Age of the house and the establishment of large front yard
setbacks throughout the neighborhood. The economic value of
the house and its appearance would be adversely affected by
the placement of the addition in the front yard area.

a den, a carport and a deck.
STAFF REPORT
A. Engineering Issues
None received at this writing.
B. Staff Analysis
This property was involved in a variance request on
July 19, 1976, at which time a similar request was
filed. That variance consisted of a two-story
addition including a carport. The rear yard request
for that application was 11.3 feet. In this request,
11.4 feet is desired. That request was approved as
filed. We see little difference between the issues
except that the two-story addition on this application
is on the east. On the prior application, it lay in
the area of the now proposed deck. The house site
remains much as existed at that time with no additional
structural alterations. Terrain and proper access for
a carport dictate a design such as proposed. There are
no structural problems with adjacent lots and houses.
The grade of this lot lessens the impact of a two-story
addition on its neighbors.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
Mr. Bill Fisher, the applicant and owner, was present, but

staff's recommendation was completely acceptable. There

The motion passed by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent and
1 open position.
