Item No. 3 - Z-3565
Owner: James H. Hill and Dawson Mase
By: James Hill
Address: None
Description: Lot 23, Block 3, Riffel and Rhoton`s
Forest Park Highlands Addition
Zoned: "R-4" Two Family
Variance
Requested: Relief from Section 7-101.4d to
permit a 3 -foot encroachment into
the required side yards for construction
of a new two family residence.
Present Use of
Property: Vacant
Proposed Use of
Property: Duplex
Staff Recommendation:
Section 5-101 of the Zoning Ordinance provides the basis for
this request. The "continuance" provisions allowing usage
of lots made nonconforming by the ordinance, and a separate
section, labeled "nonconforming lots," provides that those
nonconforming lots have grounds to seek a variance from
setback provisions when they have been made nonconforming by
the ordinance.
Proposed side yard setbacks are 5 feet, which would have
been normal for a single family dwelling on this lot. The
ordinance requires 8 -foot side yards in a duplex district.
Staff recommends approval of the variance.
