Subject: ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE NO. 85-7, REQUEST TO REDUCE A FRONT YARD SETBACK FROM 20 FEET TO 10 FEET AT 2172 CHESTNUT AVENUE.
.. . .. . . .. .. a. . . .'.
'. The Land Use Planning office has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Variance at 2172 Chestnut Avenue. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Land Use Planning Manager has ' determined that the four findings required for granting an administrative variance can be made and, therefore, approves
this request based on the following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1 ) There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone because an existing slope is located ten feet away
from the existing house - this steps down to Parcel 2. Additionally, there is no public street frontage for this lot.
2) The requested variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question because adjacent properties are being
developed in a similar manner with panhandle lots.

3) The granting of this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity or zone in which the property is located because the residence is on an interior panhandle lot. The structure on Parcel 2 (created by MS 692) must be built 20 feet away from the existing house on Parcel 3. (Note: the slope between Parcel 2 and 3 will, in fact, create a greater boundary of 40 feet - due to the current 10 foot setback, 20 foot slope length, and 5 foot required slope setback.
4) The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan by setting an undesirable precedent because of the need for an improved interior street for this area. The total. . .. area is being improved and upgraded. ' Three adjacent
projects are sharing costs of street improvements.
Conditions :
1) Approval is granted for AV 85-7, as shown on Exhibit
"A", dated September 19, 1985, on file in the Land Use Planning office and incorporated herein by reference.
2) All conditions of MS-692 are incorporated herein by reference and shall be complied with in their entirety.
3) Parcel 3 shall take access from the panhandle off Seaview Way, until such time as Maria Lane is developed through CT 81-19. At that time the current access must be closed off and a new access will be established off Maria Lane. An agreement letter will be required from
' the owner of CT 81-19 granting access to Maria Lane.
4) After Maria Lane opens up the current front yard
variance will become a rear yard variance.
