AGENDA ITEM 7B <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR: Tanda Gretz <br /> C.C. MEETING DATE: October 22, 2001 <br /> TOPIC: Resolution 01-161 approving a 3.2-foot <br /> Variance to allow a 6.8-foot side yard <br /> Setback for a Single Family Residential <br /> Building. <br /> Cornerstone Home Builders, <br /> For Property Located at: <br /> 6483 Clearwater Creek Drive <br /> ACTION REQURIED: 3/5 vote <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> This is a new construction in an R-1 Zone with a PDO. This report is based on <br /> Certificate of Surveys from Pioneer Engineering. <br /> The home is now approximately 90% complete, but has been built 3.2 feet into the side <br /> yard setback. Construction was begun in spring of this year, with the foundation work <br /> done in March. On March 27, 2001 City building inspectors signed off on footings work, <br /> based on the staked property. Both the inspectors and the contractor admit there were <br /> large piles of excess dirt at the site and frost conditions, which can make measuring <br /> difficult. As a further complication, the lot is only just large enough to accommodate the <br /> home, with no room for any error in siting or construction in terms of side yard setbacks. <br /> Plans call for the home to be sited exactly ten feet from the side property line on the <br /> residence side, and five feet from the side property line on the garage side. <br /> In August, while out on inspections, City building inspectors noticed that the side yard <br /> setbacks seemed close, and called the contractors attention to it. The contractor then had <br /> an"as-built" survey done, and it was found that the home was built into the side yard <br /> setback on the residence side by 3.2 feet. <br />
