I. Variance - Harvey E. Webb, 701 Taper Drive (Application No. V-lO-65)
.
The request for a variance for a reduction in rear yard requirement from 10 feet
to 6 feet and an increase in the allowable lot coverage from 40% to 45.7% had been
denied by the Planning Commission on July 7, 1965 by Resolution No. 35. This
decision was appealed to the City Council, which had made a finding in favor of
the proposed variance. The Council referred the matter back to the Planning
Commission for further study and action. After considerable discussion by the
Commission and Mr. Webb, it was determined that the Council's interpretation
that the hardship presented by the atrium plan of Mr. Webb's house could be
considered as an extraordinary circumstance warranting a variance was also
acceptable to the Commission. It was also determined that this variance was not
to be considered a precedent for general reduction of rear yard standards
through issue of variances.
Mr. Twining moved to approve the variance, subject to the findings stated. Dr.
Kunkel seconded the motion. Resolution No. 38.
