Memo To City Council <br />July 17, 1995 <br />• Planning Commission Meeting <br />Page 2 <br />At the June 27, 1995, Planning Commission Meeting, the commission <br />concurred with staff's findings and recommended approval of the variance. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the eight-foot <br />front yard setback variance from County Road 33 based on the following <br />findings: <br />1) Literal enforcement of the ordinance would cause undue hardship by <br />the fact that applying the existing 50' setback standard would require <br />the loss of several mature oak trees, or the placement of the garage in <br />an inconvenient area on the rear of the parcel away from the existing <br />home. <br />2) Hardship is caused by the topography of the site, which makes it <br />difficult to construct a garage at the setback line due to the drop off, <br />which would necessitate the need for extensive fill and the loss of <br />• .several mature oak trees. <br />3) The variance will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare <br />of the neighborhood, and is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />ordinance. <br />• <br />S:/Council/V95-4 <br />
