. ain hon a � PROVAL = DATE : `�P April 10 1990 T.O : Planning Commission Members ]FROM : Sue VanderHeyden, Assistant to the City Manager I TEM : SETBACK VARIANCE REQUEST, 2608/10 - 37TH AVENUE N.E. Ms. Barbara Zielinska and Mr. Z. H. Zawieruszynski , owners of the property at 2608/10 - 37th Avenue N.E. are requesting a variance to the front yard setback requirement of the City Ordinance to be allowed to build two double garages at the front of the double bungalow. The property under consideration as well as the two adjacent properties all maintain a front yard setback of 35 feet. If the garages are constructed, they would have a 15 foot front yard setback, therefore, requiring a 20 foot variance. The ordinance states that a front yard setback must be at least 30 feet or equal to the average front yard of the two adjacent lots. The bungalows on both sides and 2608/10 have a front yard setback of 35 feet. Staff is not aware of precedence ever being established for a similar request. There are homes in the City that have garages that extend in front of the setbacks of the adjacent properties which have been grandfathered in. In the area damaged by the tornado, there are some new homes that do have garages which extend in front of the setbacks of adjacent structures. Homes damaged during the storm were permitted to rebuild on their original foundations. Public Works Supervisor Lorbeski , after examining the proposed construction area, believes that the underground utilities could be adversely effected by the construction because there would not be sufficient ground cover over the utility lines. :cjk4.17.90 .
