I/We acknowledge that in the process of reviewing this application, it may be necessary for members of City Staff, Planning Commissioners, Design Review Board members, or City Council members to inspect and enter the property that is the subject of this application. I/We consent to entry for this purpose. I/We declare under penalty of perjury that the information contained in this disclosure is true and correct and that it will remain true and correct and may be relied upon as being true and correct until amended. BY Agent, Owner, Partner JUSTIFICATION FOR VARIANCE By law, a Variance may be approved only if certain facts are found to exist. Please read these requirements carefully and explain how the proposed project meets each of these facts. Use additional sheets if necessary. I) Explain why 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: This lot is unique in that it is a corner lot, surrounded on three sides by streets & driveways, with the patio area of the house fronting the two streets. The front yard is elevated eight to ten feet above the front street and walkway on a 2:l sloping bank. The usable surface of this front patiolpool area is therefore restricted to an area with dimensions of approximately 35' x 40' or 1,400 S. F. 2. This patio area is the only private outdoor family space available that we can enjoy. Without the granting of the front yard setback variance, this small patio area would be restricted further in size, resulting in a portion of this usable area being on the outside of the wall at the top of a eight to ten foot-high slope. In most of the lots in this tract, there is considerable area available for backyard recreational activity and gardening. 2) Explain why such 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: Due to the corner configuration of this lot, the area normally considered the back yard fronts on two streets - one being considered the front yard street. This condition necessitates that the typical backyard environment of this lot is subject to restrictions that most of the back yard areas of lots in the tract are not subjected to. Examples include property line fence rights with fence heights exceeding 42" for other lots as opposed to the 20' setback requirements and 42" fence height restriction in our circumstance. The granting of this variance will allow full use of the existing backyard surface area in a manner consistent with the rights of other property owners in the immediate tract and contiguous residential areas of Carlsbad. 3) Explain why the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located . The placement of the wall as indicated on the site plan is designed to blend with and enhance the neighborhood architecture and to ensure the safety of my family as well as my neighbors' children. It is my belief that the placement of the wall at the ridgeline of the slope would more effectively discourage attempts to climb the wall from the outside. Visually, the location of the wall as requested in this application as opposed to the location required by the setback is very similar when viewed from the surrounding homes, the walkway and the streets.There would be no dangerous or negative effect on the line-of-sight of passing autos, bicyclists or pedestrians. The wall would be placed at the top of the slope at a minimum distance of twenty feet from the nearest curb line and twenty-five feet from the radius of the corner. The wall will not interfere with any neighbors' views nor infringe on their property rights or be materially detrimental to the public welfare. 4) Explain why the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive plan : Permitting construction of the wall will not adversely affect the welfare of the citizens of Carlsbad nor the economics of the City or adversely affect the environment of the immediate or adjacent residential subdivisions.
