D. Public Hearing
Id.
LacoDla Estates, Lot 1
The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval for a garage:
Docket No. 06110016 V Chapter 26.02.19.D Platted Setback Line
The site is located at 9608 Copley Dr. and is zoned S-2/Residence.
Filed by Bruce & Martha Torrance.
[J
Present for the Petitioner: Martha and Bruce Torrance. Pictures of the parcel and house were shown.
Currently the garage is on the lower level with the walk-out basement. Every time they come into the
house, they go up a full flight of stairs. In an effort to maintain being in the house for a longer period of
time and making it more convenient, they would like to build a 3-car garage next to the house. The lot is
very wooded. The garage will be over the 50-foot setback. With the 3-car garage, the setback will be at
37 feet. They will maintain the buffer so that the garage will be more private from 96th Street. The
pictures were given to the Department for the record.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one appeared.
The Public Hearing was closed.
Mrs. Conn gave the Department Report. The garage will encroach past the platted setback line. It will be
behind the 35-foot setback that the Ordinance requires. The Department recommended positive
consideration.
Mr. Broach APPROVED Docket No. 06100021 V for platted setback line.
