Variance to the second story setback requirements to allow a front dormer window.
The meeting was convened at 5:30 p.m. by Robert Cowan. He introduced the staff present and
also one member from the public.
Ciddy Wordell presented the staff report as submitted describing the project. Ms. Wordell
explained that there exists a deficiency in the front setback area, but this setback was in
compliance prior to the change in the R-1 zoning ordinance. The findings show that the granting
of a variance would not be detrimental or injurious to other homeowners and that denial of this
variance would deprive the Deans of the preservation and enjoyment of their property rights.
Mr. Cowan asked if their were any comments from the public. Mr. Datar replied he understood
what the application was about and had no comments.
Mr. Cowan approved the variance based on findings presented by staff. He commented that the
exceptional circumstances findings is the weakest of the three findings, but believes the
remaining two findings are strong. Mr. Cowan also informed applicant of the 14 day appeal
process.
