MEMORANDUM `.. / . • TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Planner, Michelle Hren DATE: April 19, 1990 SUBJECT: Tom Plumb Variance Request Pictures taken of the applicants property located at 7359 Park View Terrace will be available at the meeting Monday night. The pictures show the relationship between the adjacent homes and the applicants home. Attached for your information is a list of variance requests that were heard by the Planning Commission. Variance requests,if approved, do not have to go to the City Council. The applicant has the right of appeal to the Council if the Planning Commission does not act in favor of the applicant. The Variance cases were all approved except for the ones noted. I 40 will point out that each case obviously has different circumstances and conditions. Some of the reasons stated in the resolutions were that the lot was on a cul-de-sac and therefore was required to be setback further than their neighbors, the setbacks of the surrounding properties, not enough room to do what they wanted, the original plan called for an addition. Some of the reasons for denying requests were that the condition was self created, there were reasonable alternatives and there was no hardship on the property. I could not find that the cases that had been denied appealed to the Council for relief, therefore the Planning Commission resolutions were used. In any case the attached Resolution approves and denies the requested variance. There is space to add City Council findings on your action. Whatever your action may be it would be in the best interest of the City to thoroughly document your findings so that a precedent either for or against this request is defendable.
