WILLIAM NEWELL WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY AT 1432-1/2 VILLARD STREET HAS REQUESTED A VARIANCE Of THE SINGLE fAMILY PROVISION Of THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO PERMIT THE ERECTION Of AN ADDIT)ONAL RESIDENC~ ON THE EASTERLY PORTION OF HIS LOT. THE PROPERTX IS 66.7 BY 160 fEET IN, DIMENSION AND CONTAINS 10,672 SQUARE fEET. THE DWELLING ON THE REAR Of THE LOT CONTAINS 792 SQUARE FEET AND IS SET BACK 5 fEET FROM THE ALLEY TO THE REAR. THE VARIANCE I,S REQUESTED BECAUSE THE SI ZE OF PRESENT DWELLING IS SUCH THAT THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS DEFINITELY LIMITED AND THE LOCATION OF THE SMALL DWELLING ON THE REAR LIMITS THE POSSIBILITY Of REMODELING INTO A LARGER DWELLING. THE LOT ADJOINING TO THE SOUTH AND THE SECOND LOT TO THE NORTH EACH HAVE TWO . SEPARATE DWELLINGS AND THERE ARE TO THE WEST ACROSS THE ALLEY, TWO DWELLINGS ON THE LOT. THESE UNITS WERE CONSTRUCTED DURING THE PERIOD 1945-1946. e THE BOARD REASONED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF ANOTHER RESIDENCE ON THE FRONT OF THE lOT WOULD,NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE AREA AND THE 30% COVERAGE LIMITATION FOR THE SINGLE fAMILY ZONE WOULD STILL LEAVE 7,470 SQUARE FEET OF LAND AREA. THE REQUEST WAS GRANTED. THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH HAVE BY LETTER GIVEN CONSENT TO THIS WAIVER. I THE BOARD VOICED FURTHER THOUGHT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA THAT PERHAPS MULTI PLE ZO~ING BE CONSIDERED FOR THE AREA. j, REQUEST FROM MR. HENRY DODGE WHO HAS APPLIED' FOR A BUILDING PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A RESIDENCE ON HIS PROPERTY AT 2360 COLUMBIA STREET. SAID PERMIT BEING DELAYED FOR CLAf- IFI~ATION Of SET BACKS. . MR. DODGE IS REQUESTING A WAIVER OF FIVE FEET OF THE REQUIRED CARPORT SET BACK OF TWENTY fEET FROM THE STREET PROPERTY LINE. DUE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY Of THE LAND, WHICH HAS A STEEP SLOPE TO THE REAR OF'THE LOT, A CONDITION WHICH MR. DODGE FEELS WOULD BE A HARDSHIP IN EXTRA COST FOR CONCRETE WALLS. e. STRUCTURES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY ARE CLOSER TO FRONT PROPERTY LINE THAN THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE AND"CARPORT. THE EXISTING SIDEWALK IS AT THE CURB WITH NO PARKING STRIP BETWEEN CURB AND WALK AS IS THE USUAL PLAN OF SIDEWALK LOCATION AND THIS CONDITION WOULD ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY Of A CAR EXTENDING OVER THE WALK; WITH A FIFTEEN FOOT SET BACK FROM PROPERTY LINE PLUS THE PUBLIC PARKING STRIP WHICH IS IN THE INSIDE OF THE SIDEWALK THERE WOULD BE A 26 FOOT SET BACK FROM THE SIDEWALK. THE BOARD AGREED THAT CIRCUMSTANCES SHOW A HARDSHIP CASE IN THIS I"NSTANCE AND GRANTED THE REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF 5 FEET Of THE REQUIRED SET BACK. I THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS MEETING WAS ADJOURNED." IT WAS MOVED BY MR. BOOTH, SECONDED BY MR. KOPPE THAT THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ApPEALS BE ADOPTED.
