A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
205.053 (0) FRONT YARD SETBACK OF NOT LESS THAN 35 FEET
Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street parking
without encroaching on the public right of way and also for aesthetic
consideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment into the
neighbor's front yard.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
We request a change in the setback from front lot line to 25 feet back
instead of 35 feet, in order to conform with existing homes. Also we
have a hill full of storm sewers. Also to get a better back yard for
new homeowners.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
The accompanying surveys show that an average setback of 25 feet in the
Pierce Street area. The quick drop in the area necessitates the lesser
setback to save filling a great deal. The petitioners will have to provide
specific lot situations and topographical information at the public hearing.

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER10, 1978 - PAGE 17
Mr. Mattson stated that -there's a hill going up from the back of these lots,
and the County ,has 5 storm drains going through those hills. Mr. Mattson
stated that there''are two houses there with a variance for 25 foot setback
and Mr. Mattson .felt it ,would look better for the City if all the houses had
the 25.foot setback instead of his four having a 35 foot setback. Also there
was a problem of the drains. Mr. Mattson stated that he had talked to Darrell
Clark and Mr. Clark suggested that hd�ask for a. variance. Mr. Mattson
stated that the lot on 5207 Pierce presented a hardship because the back of
that lot drops straight down.
Ms. Gabel asked about easements.
Mr. Holden stated that there are 5 easements for the storm sewers.
Mr. Mattson stated that the variances on these lots were previously granted,
but had expired.
Mr. Plemel asked if the other houses on that street had a setback of 25 feet.
Mr. Holden stated that the houses across the street had a setback of 35 feet,
but as long as the houses were uniform on each side of the street,, it wouldn't
look bad.

one of the houses were built.
