Seeking a variance for: Lot 9: Variance for House Side Yard Setback 105.12.630 Table 9-2 Variance for Accessory Side Yard Setback 105.12.630 Table 9-2 Variance for Lot Area 105.12.1260 Table 17-3 Variance for Lot Width 105.12.1260 Table 17-3 Lot 10: Variance for Lot Area 105.12.1260 Table 17-3 Variance for Lot Width 105.12.1260 Table 17-3 D. Proposed Variance: Lot 9: Side Yard Setback is 5.5 feet and should be 10 feet Accessory Side Yard Setback is 3.1 feet and should be 10 feet Lot Area is 17,368 sq.ft. and should be 20,000 sq.ft. Lot Width is 60.88 and should be 75 ft. Lot 10: Lot Area is 16,961 sq.ft. and should be 20,000 sq. ft. Lot Width is 59.87 and should be 75 ft. E. We met with Sophia Jenson on January 29, 2024 to get applications and discuss our request for a variance. She also emailed us additional information on January 30. F. This situation is unique in that it is one parcel with 2 single-family houses, each with separate city water and sewer. A lot division would allow each owner to maintain their own house. David would own the house on lot 9 and Sarah would own the house on lot 10. G. The current owner did not combine the lots. H. (a) Granting of the variances and lot division would not physically change the property. The only change would be to a property line between lots 9 & 10. No buildings would change. Each lot would be the same size as originally platted, the approximate same size as the majority of the adjacent lake lots. (b) Also, the change would not encroach on neighboring properties or affect traffic or the essential character of the neighborhood because the use would not change.
