" Section 205.053, 4A, requires a minimum £ront
of 35 feet.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provi open space for
off-street parking without encroaching onto public righ of way. Also for
the aesthetic consideration not to reduce the "building li e of sight"
encroachment into a neighbor's front yard.
B. STATLD HARASHIP;� � � \
"The normal 35 foot setback would place the house behind both adjoini
houses and would place it in the creek bed. It is requested that the
be the average setback (26'� feet) between the twc� adjoining houses."

Wit the approval of the variance, the off street parking would be 28�x fe
fncl 'ng the 2 foot boulevard area. Parking could all be maintained o he
pmper without encroaching onto public right of way. The building ' e of
sight w ld not be encroached upon as the house to the west was gra ed a
front yar variance to 30.8 feet (verified at 29.5) in May of 1976 o construct
an attache garage and the house to the east was built in 1948 w' h a setback
of 23.3 feet. Other houses along this block also have less th the 35 foot
setback due to the natural terrain of the land and the locat' n of the creek.
The Department Natural Resources was contacted and has proved construction
on this lot with ertain conditions in relation to keepi the creek banks in

a precedent for fro yard variances in this area and ould allow develo�anent
