This addition would reduce their front yard setback from 30 feet, the required minimum, to approximately 26 feet . They feel the variance is justified because the house adjacent to the one they own, along with other homes on the block, currently has less than the required front yard setback. They also feel the variance is justified because they are in the process of fixing up the house and the porch addition will make it more attractive . The home is located in an older neighborhood where many of the homes were built before the zoning ordinance and front yard setbacks were adopted. Building Inspector Jim Butler recommends approval of the variance . The section of the Zoning Ordinance governing setbacks is 401 . 03 .C.4 on page 46 of the Zoning Ordinance . _. .._ ....., TO: MAYOR O'NEAL AND CC IIL MEMBERS JUNT 1996 FROM: JIM BUTLER REF: MRS. JORGERSON'S VARIANCE REQUEST AS DESCRIBED IN THE DRAWING BELOW THERE ARE THREE DWELLINGS ENCROACHING THE SET- BACK REQUIREMENTS, TWO OF WHICH HAVE PORCH EXTENSIONS THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED WITH- OUT PERMITS.
