• • AGENDA ITEM 5.A. STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson MEETING DATE: May 9, 2007 TOPIC: Variance Local Street Setback To allow a Porch Addition BACKGROUND Jim Schally has requested approval of a Variance from the Local Street Setback (30 feet) to allow a covered porch addition that would be 25.5 feet from Apollo Drive. The proposed porch addition is part of a larger project that involved the removal of the detached garage and remodel of the existing structure. The rest of the project met all setback requirements and was therefore approved by the Buidling Department. The porch is the only thing that will encroach, a total of 4.5 feet into the Danube Street setback. The site is located north of Main Street and east of Lake Drive within the Pine Haven subdivision.
