The <br />applicant has submitted the attached statement setting forth; <br />his reasons for a variance and also the enclosed sketch showing <br />the proposed garage and site plan. <br />The trees, sewer easement and slope most certainly present <br />problems for the applicant in constructing a garage.- The impact <br />of the variance is lessened by the fact that this lot is on a <br />cul-de-sac and further is lessened as a result of the home to <br />the east being separated a good distance (approx. 100 ft.) from <br />the applicants home. <br />It appears that-the garage construction would not cause any <br />sight problems or intrusions for. surrounding property. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that VN-194 be approved by waiving the reading <br />and adopting the attached resolution. At this meeting of <br />September 19, 1978, the Board of Review adopted the attached. <br />resolution recommending approval of the variance application. <br />i ~, . n <br />issued by City <br />Report #78-248 <br />October 4, 1978 <br />REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIt_ <br />s F.
