Jan'fie and Sandy Slocum, 20020 Gary Street, have <br />requested a variance to the 20 foot side yard setback in order to construct a 14 foot wide <br />addition to their existing attached garage. The minimum lot size in this zoning district is 2 <br />acres, however, the Countryside Acres subdivision was approved with average lots sizes of <br />__one acre prior to the adoption of the Rla zoning. The proposed garage addition would <br />10 feet from the adjacent property line. Typically, one-acre lots in the City have a garage side <br />setback of 5 feet. Staff feels that the applicant meets the five findings necessary for granting <br />a variance. Mr. Leeseberg reviewed these findings. <br /> <br /> <br />
