The following variances are required: 1) A 7 foot sideyard variance for north sideyard setback, (code requires lOft, applicant shows 3ft), (1135.07 A). 2) A 7 foot variance for distance between adjacent dwellings, (code requires 15ft, applicant shows 8ft), (1135.07 A). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section, (1135.07 A). Acting Chairman 1Vlaloney called all interested parties forward and reviewed the variances being requested. Mr. Moyse, the applicant, and the following neighbors; Ms. Hopson, Mrs. Zavasnik, Ms. Yelko, Ms. Lamier, Mr. Czuchran, Mr. Moran, and Councilman Nashar came forward to review the proposal. Mr. Maloney indicated that he would first let Mr. Moyse review his proposal and then give each resident a chance to speak. Mr. Moyse indicated that the proposed house was not for him, but would be built for his aging mother, who became a widow a year ago. Most of the lots in this area are 40foot wide lots. He reviewed that the flood zone runs through Burns Road, under the street. He suggested he looked into using galvanized pipes but, found that there was more involved then he first thought. Mr. Moyse indicated that he would like to place a bridge over the existing ditch that would not interfere with the flood way and act as an access or driveway to his property, which is 247 feet deep by 40feet wide. Many single level home designs were reviewed to make sure it would meet the Cities Zoning Code of 1,300 square feet. Due to the ditch in the front of the lot the proposed home has to be set back farther than the required SOfeet. As the home will be set back further than the abutting homes he felt that the sideyard setback would be less intnzsive to his neighbors. Mr. Koberna inquired as to why the home would be set so far back. He further suggested that even though the proposed home is a custom design home he is not comfortable with the house being set 3feet off the property line. He suggested that the great room, which on the planes show 17.7 feet by 19.3 feet, be reduced in width and extended in the rear of the home. Mr. 1Vloyse indicated that he was willing to reduce the width of the great room, but as far as the house being moved forward the rise would have to be higher. Mr. Koberna suggested he did not understand what Mr. Moyse meant by rise. Mr. Conway commented that as the applicant is developing in a flood plane area, the further back the house is set off the road, the further it takes it out of the flood plane. A home built in the flood zone has to have a finished floor elevation above the flood levels. The further back the house is from the flood zone the better as it effects his floor level as well as his home 2
