MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 9, 1994 Keis asked if it was because of the steep slope of the property on the west wide of Sunrise Drive, that some homes along the west side of the street were granted front yard setback variances. The City Planner stated that this was the case. Keis stated that it appeared that the adjacent houses were setback 30 feet. The Planner pointed out that setback is measured from the edge of the road right -of -way, not the road pavement. Bernie McCanna, 2429 Sunrise, reported that he owns the vacant lot south of 2439 Sunrise Drive. McCanna asked for clarification of the 22 foot setback being requested by Mr. Maas. McCanna reported that the homes on the west side of Sunrise Drive are setback 30 feet from the lip of the curb, therefore 21 feet from the property line. McCanna asked if the 22 foot setback being requested by Mr. Maas would be 22 feet from the curb or 22 feet from the property line. The City Planner replied that Mr. Maas is requesting a 22 foot setback from the property line. McCanna asked if Mr. Maas was going to line up his house with the other homes along the street. The City Planner replied that Maas is proposing to place his house 22 feet from the edge of the road right -of -way, which would be approximately 31 feet from the lip of the curb. A property owner in the area reported that the Sunrise Drive lots are very small, and was concerned about the construction of a large home on a small lot. This property owner was concerned about aesthetics should the Maas house be built forward of the adjacent houses. Keis pointed out that the lots along Sunrise Drive are in conformance with minimum lot size standards. A property owner asked the rational for the 30 foot front yard setback. DeLonais replied that that standard was put in place 2
