Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 2100 Country Club Lane is occupied by a two-
story brick and frame single family residence. The property is located at the
northwest corner of Country Club Lane and Stonewall Road. A driveway from
Stonewall Road at the southwest corner of the property serves as access and leads
to a carport at the west end of the residence.
The applicant proposes to construct two (2) additions to the existing residence and
a swimming pool within the rear yard area, as noted on the attached site plan. A
screened porch addition is proposed on the north side of the residence. This
addition will maintain a 7.5 foot side setback and will be located over 25 feet back
from the rear (west) property line. The applicant also proposes to enlarge and
enclose the existing carport portion of the residence, converting the area to a
garage. The existing carport will be enlarged to the west, with a small golf cart
garage portion on the west end of the addition. The garage addition will be located
14 feet to 21 feet from the south side property line and 5.5 feet from the west (rear)
property line. A 15 foot by 20 foot swimming pool will also be constructed near the
northwest corner of the property. It will be located six (6) feet from the principal
structure, three (3) feet from the rear (west) property line and 13.5 feet from the
south side property line.

ITEM NO.: A (CON'T
Z-9461
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear
setback of 25 feet for this R-2 zoned lot. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a
variance to allow the garage addition with a reduced rear setback.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance to allow a reduced rear setback. Staff
views the request as reasonable. Only the golf cart garage portion of the addition
will be located 5.5 feet from the rear (west) property line. The main body of the
garage will be located 16 feet back from the rear property line. The proposed
addition with reduced rear setback will not be out of character with the neighborhood.
There are other residences within this general area which have been added onto
with reduced rear setbacks. Staff believes the proposed garage addition with
reduced rear setback will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the
general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear setback variance, as filed.
