SUBJECT: Administrative Variance No. 86-4 - Request to reduce
the panhandle width of a lot from 20 feet to 15 feet at 1715 Butters Road.
Dear Mr. Stone:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an administrative variance at 1715 Butters Road. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director 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 the lot is irregularly shaped. The width averages fifty feet to ninety feet. A standard 20 foot wide panhandle cannot be designed
without it encroaching within three feet of the applicant's residence. Thus, this situation can justify the reduction of the panhandle width from 20 feet to 15 feet.
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 the parcel has enough square footage to create two-10,000 square foot lots which would exceed the 7,500 square foot minimum lot size required
for this area; but the shape of the lot restricts the use of a standard panhandle. Thus, justification can be made that
a property right is being denied.

3. The granting of this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinty and zone in which the property is located because the use is consistent with the single family homes in the area.
4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan because the use is consistent with the General Plan.
Conditions:
1. Approval is granted.for AV 86-4, as shown on Exhibit "A", dated April 2, 1986, on file in the Planning Department and
incorporated herein by reference.
