A request for a variance on lot 12, block 8, Leite Addition from Section 17.18.040(A) front yard setbacks and Section 17.18.04( (C) rear yard setbacks. (Tim and Mary Jane Longrich) STAFF REPORT: Mr. Walton presented the staff report based on a memorandum prepar( by the Community Development Department which recommended approval of the rear yard variance. Mr. Briggs - by granting a variance to this property would it open the land up to build accessory buildings on the lot? Does it increase the square footage of the lot? Staff - no, as it is a variance to the yard requirements for construction of a single family home. Mr. Briggs - we don't know if the building needs a variance as we don't have any plans for the building. Mr. Hill that is correct. Mr. Crowe - you are increasing the buildable area of the lot, if the request is granted. Mrs. Crowe closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing. Mary Jane Longrich 1618 Mission Road. Purchased the lot about 8 years ago. The reason for the back yard variance is because we are planning to rebuild a new house and a two story garage. We only want to build another single family dwellin and a two story garage as the present house is falling apart and the garage isn't big enough. We want the variances as the lot is steep and we would like to preserve as many trees as possible. le are asking for these variances so that we can try to plan the type of sinc,le family dwelling that we can practically put on this lot. Discussion between the Commission members on a possible location of the house and garage. Mrs. Crowe what would be the length of a garage if you were to put a car in it and close the door? Staff 18 to 20 feet. Discussion between the Commission members on shortening the present garage. Mr. Ramaglia do you envision the house being set back any further into the cliff than your present house? Mrs. Longrich yes, we would be moving it back 5 feet from where it is now. In - fact both buildings would be moved back 5 feet, in addition to where they sit now. Mr. Ramaglia is the house going to need a 25 foot front yard variance? Mrs. Crowe no, but the garage does.

Mr. Ramaglia can you move the garage without having to cut down any trees? Mrs. Longrich probably not. Mr. Ramaglia essentially you are wanting to build in the same location but two story and 12 feet from the front property line. Mrs. Crowe closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting. Mr. Ramaglia my hang up on this is that we would be just granting a variance and not tying it down to any specific building or structure. Mrs. Crowe I can understand why the Longrich's are asking for the variance but I also feel that we could be getting into trouble without knowing what was going to be built on the lot. Discussion between the Commission members on what might happen if just a variance was granted without stipulations as to what was to be built. a variance to the rear yard setback to permit a variance to the front yard setback to permit a 12 oot front yard to construct a ocation of the exis 4.

Martini and Doris Shoemaker) STAFF REPORT: Mr. Crowe presented the staff report based on a memorandum prepare( by the Engineering Department which recommended denial. Mr. Hill if this is denied what is the section number in Title 16? Mrs. Crowe closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing. Mr. Martini one of the lot owners. For the subdivision. Explained why he wants to subdivide in this manner. (Two different owners and each want a lot.) Looked at different angles to subdivide but this was the most logical. Mr. Hill can you subdivide any other way? Mr. Crowe no, not logically. Discussion on how many feet Mr. Martini is short in having to make the lots comply to the 120' required lot width. Discussion between the Commission members and Mr. Martini on the possiblity of purchasing 6 feet from lot 6, block 3, Russian Creek to get the required 120' width. Mr. Martini other options would be for the Borough to give our money back or to have the Borough trade us for another usable lot. Mrs. Crowe explained that the Commission was not able to make a decision as to whether or not the Borough can make a land trade or give them back their money. Mr. Crowe don't forget about the 60 day time limit. The safest way would be for you to return the subdivision back to Mr. Martini for more information. Mrs. Crowe Mr. Martini, would you rather we act on this or return it to you for additional information? Mr. Martini it would probably be better if you return it to me.
