A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.053, 4C, requires a rear yard depth of not less than 25 percent of the lot depth with not less than 25 feet permitted or more than 40 feet required. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide rear yard space to be used for green areas which enhance the neighborhoods. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "The existing structure has 2 bedrooms and there are two single adult occupants. Since one is a teacher and the other a nurse, both have a vast amount of books and materials which necessitates a den. The den has to be on the main floor because one occupant has a permanent knee disability making steps a severe problem. That leaves the occupants with one bedroom. We have extensively explored the possibility of buying a rambler but we can not afford it. Therefore, our only alternative is to build a bedroom onto the main floor. By expanding the living room, we can put in d fireplace for energy conservation and at the same time make the addition aesthetic. By cantilevering the addition we can retain the existing back yard by putting our patio under the addition." C.
