� I <br />• ^� I <br />. , � <br />D. Height Limitationa: <br />1. Findings:: The lot alopes to the eaet and the applicant <br />will excavate additional material to take advantage of <br />providing additional living apace on a lower level that <br />would otherwise require fill or be an unuseable high <br />crawl space. , <br />The Planning Commisaion has recommended to City Councll <br />that tlie code be changed to allow a height of 28 feet in <br />thie zone as measured from the natural topography. City <br />Council ia espected to take final action on the propoaed <br />ordinance changea in mid-November. If they concur with <br />the Planning Commiseion's recommendation, the applicant <br />would be able to obtain building permita for these plane <br />as related ta groes floor area ratio and height without <br />obtaining a variance. <br />2. Conclueion: There are eaceptional circumatancea in I <br />regard to the proposed height of the structure eince <br />proposed code changes would allow thie height in the aear � <br />future. ' <br />Criterion /2: Thak auch variance ia neceseary for the preaervation and <br />enjoyment of a aubatantial property right of the <br />appellant poeaessed by the ownera of other propertiee in <br />the eame vicinity or zone. <br />A. Fronk Yard Requirement: <br />1 <br />2. <br />Finding: The property ia located in a plat nhere all I <br />the lote have bay views. ; <br />Concluaion: The variance will allow the enjoyment of a <br />bay view ae enjoyed by other property owners in thie plat. <br />B. Rear Yard: <br />1. Findinga: Othera aloag this etreet tieet the rear <br />ae[back; however, eince the area considered rear yard <br />actually will function as a aide yard becauae of the <br />� orientation of thie proposed etructure and the ezisting <br />structure to the veat, it xould be reaeonable to allov a <br />variance from rear setback. <br />2. Conclusion: It would be reaeonable to nilow a variance <br />for rear setback aince that area of thi.e propoeal will <br />funckion as a aide yard. <br />�� C. Groae Floor Area Ratio: <br />1. Bindinge: Other lote in this vicinity are much larger <br />and so can have larger homea without exceeding the groes <br />�loor area ratio, and the Board hae granted other <br />variances for proea floor area ratio. <br />2. Conclueion: Granting the variance would allow a property <br />right enjoyed by othera in the vicinity and zone. <br />D. Height: <br />1. Findings: The Board has granted variances for height in <br />the R-S zone and the code ie being changed to allos� a 28 <br />foot height. <br />-3- <br />
