Proposed building does not comply with code ordinance "side yard shall be, on one side, not less than 5' ft. Therefor a 2' ft Variance in south side yard requirements is required. Violation of Ord. 90-125, Section 1135.07 (a). Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was administered to Mr. Dunlap, and Mrs. Frank, a concerned neighbor. Mr. Gomersall asked Mr. Dunlap to review the plans. Mr. Dunlap suggested we have tried to maintain 15' ft between both houses, but on the south side yard we will need a 2' ft variance because of the porch. Mrs. Frank asked how far away from her driveway would Mr. Duulaps house be. Mr. Dunlap suggested the driveway is 12' ft from your property line. The reason we moved the house closer to the south side of our lot is because the neighbor ou the north side of our lot is so close to their own property line. Mr. Gomersall asked why the builder just doesn't move the house 2' ft to the north. Mr. Dunlap indicated the reason for placing the house were the plans show is to maintain 15' ft between the houses, and to balauce the houses. The house itself will be three feet shorter then the porch only the porch will be 2' ft into the side yard. Mr. Gomersall asked then why don't you just end the porch at the corner of the house. Mr. Dunlap indicated the porch is needed to give the house curb appeal, because that is what sells houses. Mr. Gomersall suggested moving the whole house 2' ft to the north. Mr. Dtuilap suggested he had spoke to the arclutect and the arclutect pointed out how close the house on the north side of the lot was to their own property line. Mr. Gomersall indicated that is grandfathered so there is nothing we can do about that. He asked Mrs. Frank to voice her concems. Mrs. Frank indicated she is very worried about how close the house will be to her property. The builder will be selling this house and what if the owners want to put up a fence, or what ever. Mrs. Frank doesn't want the porch encroaching upon her yard, aud would like to request Mr. Dunlap stick to the code. Mr. Gomersall suggested I would rather you move the house over 2' ft to the north. Mr. Kremzar suggested only having the porch overlap by 1.5 ft past the front corner of the house. Mr. Conway indicated if the house.to the north of this lot was conforming, Mr. Dunlap could move the house 5' ft to the north and his house would be in compliance? so why not move the whole house 2' ft to the north, there by putting the two non conforming houses closer to each other. Mr. Gomersall indicated he thought that would be a good idea and asked Mr. Conway what size variance would be needed. Mr. Conway indicated a 2' ft north side yard variance would be needed. No further questions were asked. J. Maloney moved to grant Timberview Homes; 5141 Porter Road: As amended and agreed upon, their Request for variance (1123.12). 1).
