B. Staff Analysis:
Single Family Residence under
construction
Single Family Residential
A single family residence is currently under construction on the R-2 zoned
property located at 2206 Country Club Lane. The new structure is located
45 feet back from the front (east) property line. There is a 25 -foot front
platted building line on this lot.
The applicant proposes to add a 10 foot by 23.5 foot section on the rear
(west side) of the residential structure. This would bring the single family
structure to within 15 feet of the rear property line. Section 36-254(d)(3)
of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear yard setback of
25 feet. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance from this
ordinance standard.

Item No.: 4 (Cont.
Staff is supportive of the variance request. Staff believes that the 15 -foot
rear yard setback would have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties. The applicant has provided a 45 -foot front yard setback (25
foot setback required) in order to keep the house in line with the other
residences along Country Club Lane. If the residential structure were
pulled up to the 25 -foot platted building line, the rear yard setback would
not be an issue. Staff feels that the proposed rear yard setback will not
be out of character with other residential properties in this general. area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance,
as filed.
