Czech reviewed staffs June 12, 1992, memorandum to the Planning Commission concerning a variance request by Terry and Candace Plan for approval of a 15 foot front yard setback variance for a home to be located at 1111 East First Street. The Planning Commission discussed issues relating to this variance request including, but not limited to, the alignment of existing structures, the width of the East 1st Street right of way, the possibility of vacating a portion of the East 1st Street right of way so as to eliminate encroachments, and whether the variance procedure is the proper way to handle the applicants request to locate zero feet from the front/south property line. Commissioner Batemen moved, Commissioner Featherstone made a second, to approve the variance request based on the following findings: That the property was platted prior to the adoption of the City Code. First Street width was l~d out 100 feet wide for a parade route many years ago and there have been no parade staging, the e~stingwidth canbe considered null and nonconforming. With the original street layouts, houses have been in the as now surveyed right of way. To comply with existing setbacks, the "indent"/setback would be peculiar to the normal alignment of structures.
