The applicant is requesting a variance to <br />construct the home with a 30 foot .setback from the cul-de-sac.. <br />curb which means that the front. yard setback from the property <br />line. would be approximately 13 feet. The applicant has <br />submitted 2 sketches showing the-house located with-the <br />required setback and the. proposed setback (see attached draw- <br />ings). <br />As the attached copy of the original plat and copies of surveys <br />submitted by the applicant show the shape and size of this lot <br />have .undergone substantial changes. First, Forest Dale Road <br />was platted to dead-end at its northern point: Sometime after <br />the. platting, the western 60 feet of Lot 40 was taken for a <br />road easement. Within this easement an offset cul-de-sac was <br />constructed. Secondly, a few years ago the State Highway- <br />Department acquired a portion of the lot for construction of <br />the sound-.barrier. The result of -these actions is the lot as <br />issued by City Manager <br />
