~_ _ ~. ~ - ~-: s~ Report ~79~~p August 27,.1979 APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE VN-211, IRV MOEN PURPOSE To consider a request for a variance to create two (2) lots with less than the required width. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Irv Moen "LOGAT_ION: 3044 16th Street N.W.. (Generally north of 16th .Street N.W. and south of Valerie Lane) ZONING: R-1, Single Family Residential PROPOSED NUMBER OF LOTS: 2 Lots ORDINANCE REGULATION: The zoning code states that in a R-1 Single Family-Residential District lots shall have a minimum area of 10,000. square feet and a width of 75 feet. i A variance is required by this proposed minor subdivision because the parcels will have a width of 7.4.49 and 75 feet is required. The applicant contends that the lots are only 5/10's of a foot from meeting the standards and a hardship wouhd result if only one dwell- ing is allowed on this site. Staff notes that the lots created deviate only inches from .the re- quired width. In order to make the most efficient use of the property the lot division seems to be acceptable. It should also be noted that both lots `are over 12..,000 square feet in area which well exceeds the required lot area of 10,000 square feet. The proposed subdivision and resulting variance will not change the general character of the neighborhood nor result in the creation of lots that are not comparable with adjacent -lot sizes. -The lots will -.have access to public streets and public utilities are available to service the lots: PLANNING COMP1ISSION CONSIDERAT-ION AND RECOM~~ENDATION EXTRACT OF MINUTES BOARD OF REVIEW .REGULAR-MEETING AUGUST 22, 1979 Staff reviewed the application to. create two lots 74.49 in width at 3044 .16th Street N.W.- Motion by Williams, second by Schmidt to recommend approval of variance application, VN-2.11.
