Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the
project require a Variance.
We wish to add a master bedroom with bath onto the existing house.
When the house was built in 1955 the sideyard easement was only ten feet.
The addition proposed will still be within the ten feet; however, rules have
changed the easement to twenty feet. This request for a zone variance is
allow construction between the 10 and 20 foot existing easement zone. It is not an
area that will ever be used for a trail since the land is extremely steep within 100 feet.
Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the
'same vicinity and zone.
The existing house occupies all the lateral spaee arrncc the int, co any
addition must be to the rear. Construction is. not allowed on the west
side of the street easement that bisects the property. No other part of
the rear of the house is suitable for additions due to the location of
windows.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to
the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property.is located because -
As to public, There is no trail nor probably ever will be in the rear canyon due to .
its steepness and inaccessibility. As to property in the vicinity of the improvement, the •
addition of the room will be virtually invisible to everyone in the tract and neighborhood
except Mrs. Miller (on the south). Planting presently hides most of addition as it is now,
and the addition will not materially obstruct her view nit of hir kitchen window.
