-8- 1 8- 1 and garage are at least four feet higher than the Flaherty home and 2 even though the new garage is 11 feet high at the roof crest, it would 3 still be lower than his own which. would be next to it on Hilldale side 4 and therewould be at least 15 feet between the two. 5 6 Commissioner .Jones wanted any motion to state that it was only for the 7 garage the variance was granted so the Commission would have the 8 opportunity to at least look at any further expansion of the family 9 room. 10 11 The hearing closed at 9 : 08 P:M. 12 13 Commissioner B.jorklund commented that when he first read the proposal 14 he had thought it would result, "in an. .awful lot of house filling up 15 that corner" , but, after visiting the site., he became aware of the 16 number of very large homes in that neighborhood, which is of quite 17 a unique spot in the City. 18 19 Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Bowerman to 20 recommend the Council grant a variance to William Flaherty to construct 21 the garage he proposes on his Hilldale frontage within seven feet of 22 the adjacent property line , finding that: 23 24 1. The Flaherty house would have been built facing Hilldale if that 25 street had been in when the residence was constructed. 26 27 2. The variance is not based exclusively upon the desire of the pro- 28 perty owner to increase the value or income potential of the parcel 29 of land because it would probably cost him more than the property 30 would appreciate . 31 32 3. There .is a hardship created for Mr. Flaherty because he is on a 33 corner lot and therefore front yard setbacks for a rear yard set- 34 back ar.e required on three sides of the lot. 35 36 4 . There was no opposition demonstrated against this proposal and the 37 abutting neighbor to the west indicated he favored the granting 38 of the variance. 39 40 Motion carried unanimously. 41 42 The meeting was recessed at 9 : 16 P.M. and when it was reconvened at 43 9 :27 P.M. , the public hearing was opened to consider the request for 44 the subdivision without platting by Irving Walbon of the property 45 located at the southwest corner of 33rd Avenue N.E . and Old Highway 8 46 which would result in two single family residential lots from a single 47 vacant, unplatted parcel containing about 20 , 000 square feet. 48 49 Chair Pro .Tem Zawislak read the notice of the hearing which had gone 50 out to all adjacent property owners within 350 feet of the subject 51 property and had been published February 9th in the Bulletin. No one . 52 reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. 53 54 Mr. Childs had advised in his February 13th memorandum that the lot 55 split would result in a single family interior lot of 9 , 600 square
