MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />January 24, 1990 <br />Blesener pointed out that the right-of-way adjacent to <br />the Valento lots is 6 feet rather than the 10 feet <br />indicated by Mr. Valento. <br />The Planner reported that it is his understanding that <br />Mr. Valento would like a 20 foot setback from the <br />right-of-way line for Lots 2 and 3 and a 25 foot <br />setback from the right-of-way line for Lot 4. <br />Scalze pointed out that the lots were platted with 100 <br />foot widths to make up for their shallowness. <br />Valento replied that the lots were platted with 100 <br />foot widths in order to meet the City's requirement for <br />10,000 square foot minimum lot size. <br />Fahey asked if there was anyone from the general public <br />present wishing to comment on this matter. There was <br />not. <br />Fahey asked how this situation differs from the Arcilla <br />variance request which the Council previously denied. <br />The City Planner stated that in this instance if the <br />City feels that widely staggered front yard setbacks <br />would cause a problem from a neighborhood aesthetics <br />standpoint, a variance could be granted on that basis. <br />Collova pointed out Mr. Valento's comments about <br />wanting to building structures on these lots similar to <br />the other homes in the area. Collova pointed out that <br />there is presently an inequity situation since that <br />cannot be done unless a variance is granted. Collova <br />felt it would be beneficial to the neighborhood to have <br />the fronts of the homes lined up. Collova asked why <br />the road was pushed to the east when it was developed. <br />Scalze replied that this was done so that there was <br />enough area so that a buildable lot could be created on <br />the northwest corner of Valento Lane and LaBOre Road. <br />The Planner pointed out that the right-of-way was <br />narrowed down in this area to 40 feet, and the road was <br />constructed in the middle of the right-of-way. <br />Valento pointed out that his west property line for Lot <br />1 is the curb line. This was done because it was <br />thought that the house on Lot 1 may be moved, and in <br />order to create a buildable lot across the street. <br />Page 6 <br />
