REQUEST I i Mr. Rhoden wishes to relocate an existing house onto his pro- perty at 2325 Maple. He alleges that houses on aither side , of this property and most of the remaining houses on this block are within the required front yard setback. He therefore re- quests that he be allowed to locate 17_ feet from the property line. II. ARGIIMENTS IN FAVOR � A. The ::ight-of••way on Maple is quite wide (80 feet) and the actual pavement width is 24 feet which is satisfactory for this local, residential street. The distance from the sidewalk to the front property lines is 10 feet so that an actual setback of 12 feet produces a visual setback of 22 feet. B. Due to the fact that major arterials lie one bloc!c to the east (Walnut) and ona block to the north (23rd St. ) , it is unlikely that Maple or 24th wi].1 ever be upgraded in classification bey�nd a local access street. It is also un- likely therefore that a widening of Maple Street will be warranted. C. There would be no greater impact to adjoining resi- dences for a house to be aligned with them than i£ the house was setback S feet from their front walls. III. ARGUMENTS AGAINST A. The applicant states that the value of his dwelling and property would suffer if the variance was not granted. There is no apparent evidence to support this allegation. It would not suffer any more than other properties where tlie set- back is required. B. Although his plans are not definite, the appl.icar�t has indicated that he will build a garage in the rear portion of the property at some future date. Depending oii the size of this garage, the property could become over-built with an B foot re].axation of the front yard. r i � - - - - - - — - �
