,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 a long. 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 o£ the proposed home. Lastly, the applicant has stated that meeting the setback requiremen is 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 conside-ration of a variance. The variance requested (17 ~eet) 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 spacesto 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 all.
