Sincerely, Tim Herndon, Development Manager TH/vh MARCH 18, 2021 ITEM NO. 5 -9557 File No.: Z-9557 Owner: Eliot Seven Holdings LLC, Attn: Anthony & Kimberly Gary Applicant: Hope Consulting, Inc., Attn: Jonathan Hope Address: 1014 Beechwood Street Description: Lot 4, Block 9, Hillcrest Addition Zoned: R-2 (Single -Family District) Variance Requested: A variance is requested from the area provisions of Section 36-156 to permit more than thirty (30) p 9e of the rear yard for an accessory building. Justification: The applicant's justification is presented as per the attached letter dated October 14, 2020. Present Use: R-2, Single Family Residential Proposed Use: R-2, Single Family Residential STAFF REPORT A. Planning and Develo ment Civil En ineering Comments: No Comment. B. Buffering and Landscape Comments: No Comment. C. Building Codes Comments: No Comment. D. Staff Analysis: The R-2 zoned property is located in the Hillcrest Overlay District at 1014 Beechwood Street and occupied by a one-story single-family frame home. The adjacent and surrounding properties are also occupied by single family residences with the adjacent south property being zoned PDR. The home to the north is a similar single -story home with alley access and on street parking located at the front of the property. The rear yard of the subject property is accessed from the alley on the west side of the property while the front of the home faces Beechwood Street. An existing planter and privacy fence are placed adjacent to the north property line and the survey indicates a retaining wall on the south property line. MARCH 18, 2021 ITEM NO. 6 [CON Z-9557 The applicant is proposing to install an in -ground swimming pool with an associated deck in the rear yard where an existing driveway is presently located off of the alley - The applicant has stated that the location for this accessory structure has been chosen due to the existing utilities further east towards the residence and to maximize green space of the back yard. The rear yard space is approximately 3785 square feet in area and is currently occupied with an existing 320 square foot sued structure, and 165 square feet of sidewalk. The proposed pool and associated deck are indicated on the site plan to provide an additional 870 square feet of non -permeable area. The existing structures and proposed pool addition will yield approximately thirty-six (36) percent of coverage of the rear yard exceeding the maximum code allowance of thirty (30) percent. The proposed pool deck will be located on the north and west property lines with an approximate three (3) feet of surface before reaching the pool edge. The rest of the pool is surrounded with an additional three (3) foot concrete edge and larger concrete deck approximately nine (9) feet in width between the pool and existing shed. The proposed pool in the northwest corner of the property is set approximately forty-five (45) feet from the back of the house. Section 36-156(a)(2)c states, "Accessory buildings or structures in the R-1 through R-4A districts... may not occupy more than thirty (30) percent of the required rear yard area... Swimming pools and all appurtenant structures both above ground and below grade of adjacent yard area shall be construed to be accessory structures and conform to the standards of this section..." The proposed in -ground pool would have less of an impact on the surrounding properties than an above ground structure. This proposal is similar to other neighborhood installations, and presents no foreseeable adverse effects to the neighboring residences. E. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the requested thirty-six (36) percent coverage variance per the attached site plan, subject to a building permit being obtained for all construction. Board of Adjustment (March 18, 2021) The applicant was present. There were no persons registered in opposition. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "Staff Recommendation" above_ There was no further discussion. The item remained on the Consent Agenda for approval. A motion was made and seconded to approve the Consent Agenda. The vote was 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. 6 PR r P6-R E❑ F-71 PD-� El 0 13 P -_R El❑ J EDSUBJECT PROPERTY 0 V _j --- R2 C_ R4 R2 KPUP C] PRD R5 1 R2 R4 L J Ez:;� D _ ED CUP R4 R5 Lu ©`S'T 4 PR R z E z El R5 L PD-R R PD_R El R4 7 C3� �711 R4 D [=�2 E:] CD.
