3208 WETMORE AVE 2018-01-02 MF Import

The mid -block owner must adnere to the front set back, but has a lesser set back on the side. The real extraordinary c.'..rcumstance is that th-i corner lot owner bears the burden with his 10 feet rather thar ::ity w th their unused 80 foot right of way. FE —ment of a substantial property ri_qht Application of the set hack requirement on Wetmore and 32nd. deprives the owner of 2200 square feet out of a total of 12,000 square feet. If no new building were built, and the existing building left in place, left alone, or remodeled, there would be a building in the same location as the new building, should I be allowed this variance. Thus I am deprived of the use of 2200 feet by improving the property. There is a real benefit to the other property owners who have not built new buildings: they can continue to use the property which the City requires for a set back for new constrt.ction. They possess this right; the variance is needed for me to have this right presery d, i GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE WILL NOT BE DETKIMENTAL The existing building sits on the property line, it is not deterimental to the welfare or injurious to other properties in the neighborho,2d. There is no disruption of site lines for autos going East on and. Conversely, granting of the variance will be beneficial to other property owners in the neighborhood. Across the street there is a 50 foot lot in a prime locations virtually rendered unbuildable because of the set back requirements. I hav talked to Be` owneryjo6 of � corner lot5in the immediate vicinity weu does not thinFa reduction of the setback would be bone-fleC- 3 to the neighborhood. EFFECT ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The staff of the City's Planning Department advises me that there would be no effect on the comprehensive general plan if this variance were allowed. The comprehensive plan does not co!.'- for the use of the unused portion of the City's 80 foot right-of-way; thus this will still be available to provide in fact set backs on both 'Wetmore and 32nd.
