RE: Admin, 'Variance for residence at 5025 Tierra Del Oro: Carlsbad
Dear Brian;
Yesterday a neighbor had shown me the Notice of Request for Admin.
Variance, with the contact name of Mike Grim. I then called Mike to see if
there 'was, indeed, any submitted objection by the neighborhood. My inquiry
was left on his message machine. His response was faxed me and is enclosed.
Before speaking with him, I would appreciate your input.
We are told .we have received the variance, BUT, in fact, we have not. The
front yard set. back of 20 feet is being enforced, a5 you will see in #2 under
COWDITIONS on page 2 from Mke. That is the very set back we asked the
variance for. The 3' side yard neds to be accepted as well, but the front is
imperative. .The houses in this neighborhood are built out to that 10' front
set back that we ask for. This can be seen exactly on the 'property adjoining
ours on the North, and South, and up and down the street!
I would greatly appreciate your assistance again.

Description/Explanation:
d'
We would 'like to remodel and add a second story to our residence
located at !%25 Tierta Del Os0 Street. It has coma to our attention .. .. 1.
The Terramar subdivision where our property is located was built in 1954,
.two years before che municipal. code requiring a 20 foot front yard setback
was established. This encroachment into the setback puts our property
into a nan-confarming status that limits expansion of the floor area to
40% of the existing area of the residence, This limit would allow us a total
of 1900 square feet of living area'on the property. Most homes in this
neighborhood are much larger. We feel that the non-conforming statue
placed on our residence deprives us of the right to develope out property
to the standards that neighboring properties enjoy. '
We understand that other properties on the west side of Tierra Del Oro Street
and Share Drive with the same non-conforming setback status as ours have been
