1. Special circumstances not self imposed:
The new space will accommodate a new secure and non claustrophobic work and living space. I work
in space and defense. Currently have an open office in the living area by the main entrance in the
house. We have kids that are using the bedrooms, thus cannot convert a bedroom into a secure and non
claustrophobic office.
2. Preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights:
This will allow me to utilize the new addition as a private and secure work/living space without feeling
claustrophobic, while meeting security needs for work.
3. Variance not materially detrimental to persons, property, or the public welfare of the
community.
While most new homes in Chandler are built on dense lots, with much smaller setbacks, my variance
request is minimal in comparison. The new east side variance will be at the required Sft. It only takes
away Lft 2 inches from total allowed variance of 15ft. (see photo of new area space from street)
My existing garage to the west side of the property is set back at 8ft and Sinches, while the rest of the
house on the west is set back at 15ft 7 inches. New total variance will be 13 ft and 8 inches.
The small variance will have no observable visual impact, nor will affect safety or emergency use
access by emergency sewices with the required Sft setback. The overall variance difference of 1-ft and 2
inches, will not materially be detrimental to any persons, property or the public welfare of the
community.
