DATE: January 20, 1970 CASE NUMBER: VN - 65 APPLICANT: ~ Mr. Wm. L. Jorgenson LOCATION: Lot 5, Block 1, Silver Oaks 3rd Addition Southwest corner of Mississippi Street Northwest and 29th Ave. N.W. REQUEST: Variance on Lot Size and Street corner Sideyard Setback Requirement. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: l . The property in question is a nearly level lot situated in the southwest quadrant of the "T" intersection of Mississippi Street Northwest and 29th Avenue Northwest. The lot size has been reduced to below minimum square footage for single family devel- opment as a result of re-alignment of 29th Avenue Northwest 20 feet to the west of its original location. _ 2. The request asks for a variance on both lot size and sideway rd requirements. The minimum lot size in this zone is 10,000 square feet. The actual size of this lot is 9505.06 square feet. A variance for this reduction in lot size appears to be reason- able in light of the fact that the lot size has been substantially reduced by the dedication of 20 feet of right-of-way along the east side of the lot. 3. The structure as shown on the attached drawing would also require street Sideyard variance. Assuming that boulevard and sidewalk fa{I within the right-of-way, the east end of the house would be within about 23 feet of the streetway. Because the property to the south of this structure is to be developed as a P. R. D. with consider- able open space it appears that this structure oriented as shown would appear to be very close to the streetway. A reorientation of the structure could be accomplished which would allow construction of a structure of this size without requirement of set- back variance. 4. If the small end of the structure (20' x 22') is a garage, it appears that a curb cut for a driveway to enter the garage would be too close to the intersection for opti- mum safety considerations. By rotating the structure 90 degrees clockwise, the garage entry would be adequately removed from the intersection.
