MOTION TO APPROVE AREA VARIANCE NO 11 1998 GLENN & SANDRA COMBS,
Introduced by Lewis Stone who moved for its adoption, seconded by
Brian Custer:
Upper Sherman Avenue, opposite Leo Street . This variance would
provide for a common driveway to Lots Two and Three on the Glenn
and Sandy Combs subdivision 4/22/98, signed by Dennis Dickensen.
That in granting this variance, the applicant will construct a

Glenn & Sandra Combs
single driveway off of Sherman Avenue for approximately, for 50
feet . Then the driveways will be divided and go back separately to
Lots Two and Three. In granting this variance, we recognize that
these lots will have, while they meet the area requirement for SR-
lA, namely one acre or more, they will have an average lot width as
defined of 150 feet per the zoning requirement . We are granting
relief from the average of 150 . Namely, the average lot width will
be 117 and 105 . Therefore, we are granting 32 . 7 feet relief for
Lot Two and 44 .4 feet for Lot Three. In addition, we are granting
relief from 179-70, the requirement that each lot have 40 feet of
road frontage. We are granting 15 feet for each lot, with the
recognition, again, that there will be a common driveway for the
first 50 feet off of Sherman Avenue, then two separate driveways
going back to the respective primary buildings . The benefit to the
applicant, the applicant will be able to subdivide and build on the
two lots. Feasible alternatives, we have recognized the feasible
alternative by making it a shared driveway for the first 50 feet .
Therefore, we are not really granting relief from that . Is the
relief substantial relative to the Ordinance? In granting 15 feet
for each lot on the road, this might be considered substantial, but
when we combine the two for a total of 50 feet, this is minimized,
and the relief of the lot widths, considering the nebulous
character of the definition of average lot width, the relief is not
really substantial . The effect on the neighborhood will be
positive, in that there will be two one acre lots per zoning with
Single Family residences on them which will be an improvement to
the neighborhood as it would be to any other neighborhood, and
certainly there will be no adverse effects. Is this difficulty
self created? One might consider it self created, in the fact that
they own this particular property. They were, as the applicant' s
agent said, they were forced to accept this property, and they are
trying to make the best of a situation, and I don't think it
represents a problem as far as this variance is concerned.
