laundry -room addition to the east side and a 4.4' X 11'
entry addition to the west side. The smaller additions

Item No.: 9 (Cont.)
Staff is encouraged by the proposed investment in a home
which is located in the older part of the City and is
supportive of the requested variance. The rear yard of the
applicant's property abuts the rear yard of a property which
fronts onto Cross Street. Allowing the reduced rear yard
should have no effect on this abutting property. The
reduced rear yard setback is only for the 19.6 foot width of
the bedroom addition, leaving the remainder of the rear yard
area open.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback
variance as filed.
