The proposed garage would penetrate approximately 4 1/2 feet into the County's 15 foot side lot setback, and will occupy a tri- angular area of approximately 25 square feet. However, as can be seen on the plans, the angle formed by the plane of the house with attached garage and the west property line of the lot has the effect of an approximate 17 foot setback. The variance requested would allow the placement of the pro- posed garage and workshop in such a manner as to provide the proper architectural and aesthetic balance to ensure a pleasing overall appearance. Justification for Proposed Variance The applicant believes that the proposed variance is justified because of the fact that due to the exceptional narrowness and shape of the property and because of the exceptional topographic conditions (e.g., steep grade and rocky terrain), which conditions were not created by the applicant, the strict application of a 15 foot side lot set- back would result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, and exceptional and undue hardship upon the applicant. Further, applicant submits that such requested relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially altering or impairing the intent and purpose of the zoning district regulations and the policies and regulations of the Pitkin County Land Use Code. More specifically, the applicant submits the following justifications. 1. The Pitkin Green Subdivision lots were designed for ten foot side lot setbacks, thus creating a hardship for the applicant in complying with the existing County side lot setback of 15 feet, because the existing residence was constructed without a garage at a time when the County set- back was ten feet. Had the proposed garage been constructed at the same time as the existing residence, there would have been no need to apply for the variance as the proposed garage would not encroach within a ten foot side lot setback. 2. Pitkin Green Subdivision Protective Covenants require ten foot side lot setbacks, and the pro- posed garage would comply with such requirements. 3. Because other buildings in the Subdivision were constructed at such time as the County setback was ten feet, and were constructed in compliance with the Subdivision requirements of ten feet, the other Pitkin Green Subdivision landowners would not be injured by the allowing of the applicant to be subject to a ten foot setback. .. , . ,~. . ._ .~ • • 4. The rocky and steep terrain does not lend itself to any other placement of the garage on the lot, which garage is designed with the absolute minimum width for allowing space for two cars. 5. Because of the steep drive and very limited parking space now available, the parking of cars in the proposed garage will ease the problems of snow removal and provide for safer and easier ingress and egress to the existing residence. Further, the ability to park cars in the garage, rather than on the existing road, will allow safer ingress and egress for Lot 12, Block 2, which lot uses said road for access.
