1. Lynette K. Kopperud and Warren D. Wollenberg has applied for a variance
from Section 14-133(5) and Section 14-198(4Xa) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning
to permit the construction of a one-story addition to the front of the house having a

house located in the R-2, Single Family Residence District at the following location,
to -wit:
Lot 14, Block 9, Suburban Homes Co's Addition (Torrens Certificate No.
628949)
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 86 -83 -VAR) and has recommended to the City Council that the application
be granted.
3. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions,
light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on values of property
in the surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed variance upon the Comprehensive
Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property,
it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will
not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, unreasonably
increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the
public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any
s other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive
Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are
peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply generally
to other land or structures in the district in which such land is located.
6. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right of the applicant. It will not merely serve as a convenience
to the applicant but is necessary to aIIleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty.
Conclusion
The application for a variance in front yard setback to permit the construction of a
one-story addition to the front of the house having a setback of 23.3 feet instead of
the required 26.3 feet (averaged) is granted based upon the findings set forth above.
