Public Hearina Case No. V 95-1 Staff report by Gary Schmitz. Don Schumacher has requested an eight (8) foot front yard setback variance to accommodate a ten (10) foot addition to the south side of his home, located at 212 Norfolk Avenue. Mr. Schumacher's home is located on a corner lot), requiring 2 front yard setbacks of thirty (30) feet on both Norfolk and Manor Place. Gary stated that there is already a precedence for varying setbacks, as demonstrated by the wide mix of homes in this area that do not meet the existing standards. He added that the options for placement of the addition are very limited and the applicant does not wish to detract from the colonial structure of the home. Staff feels there are adequate findings to grant the variance. Chair Kuester opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the public, Chair Kuester closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER SULLIVAN-SLOCUM MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN EIGHT (8) FOOT FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE REQUEST BY DON SCHUMACHER, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. V 95-1, CITING THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO PUBLIC OPPOSITION, INFORMATION IN STAFF'S MEMO, AND BASED ON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: 1. LITERAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD CAUSE UNDUE HARDSHIP BY THE FACT THAT APPLYING THE EXISTING SETBACK STANDARDS WOULD REQUIRE THE ADDITION TO BE BUILT ELSEWHERE WHICH WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE UNIQUE COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOUSE. .
