The City <br />Code requires that all buildings be set bacic 30 feet from any public street or right of way. There <br />is no distinction made between improved or unimproved right of way, and nor should there be. <br />The Planning Commission considered this matter at the January 5, 2000 meeting. At that meeting <br />the Planning Commission continued consideration of this matter. Staff has had additional <br />discussion with the applicant concerning other options including a minor subdivision that could <br />allow the proposed house to be located such that a variance would not be necessary. As of the <br />writing of this report, staff has not heard from Mr. Mistelske about how he wants to proceed. <br />Therefore staff has not prepared a resolution for Planning Commission consideration. Staff will <br />report any additional information it receives at the January 19, 2000 meeting <br />Recommendation: <br />It is recommended that the Planning commission continue this matter until the February 2, 2000 <br />meeting. <br />N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV�DEV CASES\578-99\MISTELSK2.doc <br />
