Village Code Section(s):230 Attachment = a
Description of variance requested:
We are requesting an area variance. This property is located in the R40 Zone. The side yard requirements are 30' one side and 80° both sides
Our proposed addition will reduce the existing setbacks. The 30' minimum will be 25' and teh combined setbacks will be 71.9. We are requesting 2
variances. One for the single side minimum to be reduced to 25' and the total to be reduced to 71'. The differnence is to allow for a margin of error for
the GC during the course of construction
(can use separate paper if necessary)
Required setbacks: Proposed Setbacks: Variance Requested:
Side Yard 30" 25° 50"
Total Side Yard 80" 71 9-0"
Front Yard 50° 125’ - exist Ma
Rear Yard 40° 200’ exist nla
The ZBA shall take into consideration the benefit to the applicant if the variance is granted as weighed against the detriment to the
health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community by such a grant. To be considered:
1. Whether an undesirable change wil! be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties;
2. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an
area variance;
3. Whether the requested area variance is substantial;
4. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood or district;
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant to the decision of the ZBA but shall not
necessarily preclude the granting of the area variance.
Provide additional Information for all five factors above:
This project is in keeping with the neighborhood and is not detrimental to the surrounding properties. We evaluated other locations but the exist house
configurations and layout limited us to this location. We feel that this is a minimal variance and the impact to site & neighborhood
is not substanial. We feel that this location is the right location for the house and site .
