Page #2 August 3, 1978 as shown on the surveys submitted by the applicant. In terms of constructing a home, the above noted actions mean that to meet ordinance setback requirements the .new home must'be setback 60 feet further-east than was expected at time of platting, setting the home also about 60 feet further east than the other homes along Forest Dale Road. The applicant made note of the property location and lot shape in his application. Further, the applicant has. noted that meeting the setback requirements may cause a problem for the existing -home to the south in that the rear yard of the existing home would be adjacent to the front yard of the proposed home. Lastly,. the applicant has stated that meeting the setback requirements. creates problems in designing and locating a home meeting all other zoning code requirements. Overall, `the existing conditions (i.e., the offset cul-de-sac, sound barrier, lot shape and setbacks of adjacent homes) would appear to merit consideration of a variance. The variance requested (17 acct)-would not enable the new home to be built aligning-with ..the home to the south but the effect on the neighboring property would be reduced, The 30 ft, setback from the curb would provide sufficient space to park a car in the .driveway,: .The lot itself meets all code requirements in terms of width and area and therefore the-issue is at what setback shall a home. be constructed and not whether a home should be built at a11.
