Neither of these condi- tions is a result of the owner's or applicant's actions. The Lakeview Addition was platted outside the city in 1892 and Lot 1 contains approximately 4700 sq. ft. The lot was a nonconforming lot of record at the time of annexation to the city on December 5, 1967, Lot frontage was 29f feet prior to the dedication this year of the new Puppy Smith Street; present frontage is 49 f feet due to the irregular right of way. The lot width at the front setback line is only 45 feet, and because the lot tapers at both front and back, less than 50 percent of the lot is 45 feet wide. The other two nonconforming lots (ownerships) of record in the Lakeview Addition each contain a minimum of 6000 sq. ft. and are rectan- gular in configuration, thus providing a reasonable building setback envelope, The. granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the neighborhood or adversely affect the general purpose of the comprehensive general plan in that the proposed facility will be wholly within the setback envelope for dwelling structures. None of the present dwellings fron- ting Puppy Smith Street meet the front setback require- ment of 25 feet and several do not meet the side setback requirement of 5 feet. Additionally, the architecture of the facility will reflect a residential rather than an institutional design. Based on the above facts the applicant feels the variance is justifiable pursuant to Section 2-22(d) of the Muni- cipal Code. .. r-- I I I 10' ------- 20' ) ( PROPOSED BUILDING If) 32' -- 3p' --+---- '" 25' DISTANCE;2?
