i <br /> -2- <br /> • <br /> >the neighbor to the east (Mr. Solie) received a variance about <br /> 8 years ago to allow his garage within 20 feet of the property <br /> line; <br /> >because the previous garage on this property was closer to <br /> the street than the current proposal, the variance would still <br /> result in an improvement over the previous situation. <br /> These are good points, but from a variance standpoint, a hardship <br /> must be shown. Staff suggests that possible items of hardship could <br /> include: <br /> .1. The shortness and narrowness of the lot coupled with its <br /> steepness. <br /> 2. The strict regulations of Rice Creek District requiring <br /> substantial setback from the lake. <br /> 3. As a single family owner occupied home, this is not an <br /> attempt to get a variance for the purpose of economic <br /> gain. <br /> 4. The fact that adjacent to a lake, the focus of living <br /> activities are toward the lake rather than the street, <br /> which minimize the need for a large street-side yard. • <br /> :cjkll.15.88 <br />
