MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 8, 1990 Motion seconded by Pedersen. Motion carried 5 - 0. TACHENY Mr. Daniel Tacheny appeared before the Commission LOT SPLIT requesting approval of a lot split and variance from & VARIANCE the Code requirement of 30 foot rear yard setback for his property located at 623 LaBore Road. Mr. Tacheny reported that he purchased the property in 1989. Tacheny explained that he would like to make some improvements to the existing home. In order to do so, he would like to divide his property into two lots and sell the lot that would front on LaBore Road. The existing house would then front on Payne Avenue. Tacheny reported that he would be purchasing a strip of property from his neighbor, which he is proposing to combine with this property. This will give him the required 75 feet of frontage on Payne Avenue. The City Planner explained that the variance that is needed is technical in nature, since as a result of the property division proposed, the front yard of the Tacheny property would become Payne Avenue, thus the existing side yard becomes the rear yard. DeLonais pointed out that as a result of the variance being approved, the property would become non - conforming. The Planner replied that this was true, but pointed out that if the existing home were damaged, the property owner would have six months to re- establish the use of the property. Pedersen pointed out that the only thing that is changing is the additional lot, the location of the existing house is not changing. Pedersen stated that he understands that the variance request does not meet the technical guidelines to warrant approval, however, Pedersen stated that it did not make sense not to approve the request. Garske asked if a precedent would be set if the variance were approved. Page 2
