Dear Members:
RE: Variance Request for (2) Two Side Yard Set Backs at 22
Chuckwagon Road, Rolling Hills, California
For 20 years we have lived with the premise that the Zoning Code for
side yard set back was established for the best interest of the
Community and each lot owner -- so that each owner could make the
best use and value of his or her property on a basis among neighbors.
. . whether it be for residential use, enhancing value or for resale
or speculation.
It is generally understood in the Community that the Zoning Codes are
not waived by variance unless some unusual or extenuating
circumstance exists that warrants granting a use privilege to one
owner and not to another either now or in the future.
We understand that 24 Chuckwagon Road (next door) was recently
purchased (now in escrow until October) by Dr. Bhasker, 9 Wideloop,
Rolling Hills, for a residence for his mother and father. 24
Chuckwagon now consists of a master bedroom and bath, two guest
bedrooms, and bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room
with toilet and shower -- existing living area total 2,355 sq. ft.,
plus enclosed garage of 345 sq. ft. (2 cars).
This request for variance is for an additional family room of 300 sq.
and added master bedroom of 335 sq. ft.; a total of 635 sq. ft., or
an increase of 27% in living area in space obtained by waiver of side
yard setback code.
Between 24 and 22 Chuckwagon exists a 29' side yard setback of which
7' x 12' walled pool and tool equipment reduces setback to 22' per
the proposed 12' x 24' family room would reduce the setback another
12' to actually 10 feet. A waiver of 19 feet. In the future, if I
asked for a similar set back we would be almost wall to wall.
•
Between 24 and 26 Chuckwagon the side yard setback is 20 feet, the
proposed added master bedroom and bath will reduce set back to 10
feet.
There might be some unusual or extenuating circumstance that
justifies a variance. This request should be considered on the basis
of whether or not it will continue for now and the future the equal
enhancement in use and value to all neighbors on anequal basis. We
want the privilege to extend our use of the side setback
in the future if this request is granted.
Thank yo
I
J. { E . Hawthorne
