The applicant has provided a written analysis of the variance criteria, which has been <br /> included in the BOA packet materials. Following is a staff review and analysis of the <br /> variance criteria. <br /> 1. That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions such as irregularity, <br /> narrowness or shallowness of lot, or exceptional topographical or other physical <br /> conditions peculiar to the affected property. <br /> Setbacks: The lot in question is irregularly shaped, being wider at the rear than at the front <br /> and with the cul-de-sac further impacting the front lot line. In addition, the front of the <br /> house currently encroaches into the front setback. Staff finds this criterion has been <br /> met. <br /> Lot Coverage: The lot is 14,453 square feet, 2,453 square feet larger than the 12,000 <br /> square foot minimum lot size in the RE zone district. The lot is appropriately sized for the <br /> zoning, and the 20 percent maximum lot coverage is appropriate for lots of this size. The <br /> split-level design of the house somewhat limits the ability to build up within the 35 foot <br /> height limit, however staff does not find anything unusual about the lot with respect to lot <br /> coverage. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. <br /> 2. That the unusual circumstances or conditions do not exist throughout the <br /> neighborhood or district in which the property is located. <br /> Setbacks: While many of the lots in the immediate area are also wedge-shaped, few of <br /> them have a similar impact on the front lot line from the cul-de-sac. Within the wider <br /> neighborhood, most lots are rectangular in shape. Staff cannot at this time determine the <br /> prevalence of front setback encroachments in the neighborhood. However, many <br /> properties in the wider neighborhood are zoned Residential Low Density (RL), which has a <br /> 25 foot front setback, instead of the 30 feet required in the RE zone district. Staff finds <br /> this criterion has been met. <br /> a '`HAN .' . • <br /> FF - �Li OQINCr r.+ <br /> — <br /> r <br /> ION I 111:1•011 <br /> UI5ROW ONTh <br /> 'ELLE Ni <br /> • <br /> r 2252 Crown <br /> REM_ <br /> FINS vuir ci.-__mak <br /> 111P 10,FM <br /> f z :,RL 10. <br /> ell154TL'LE 4' <br /> SID RiEPLA17 'L' <br /> �,fr�r RM 2 <br /> I <br /> 4 <br />
