variance
Requested: From the rear yard setback provisions of
Section 43/7-101.3.D.3 to permit new
construction with a 19.5 -foot rear yard.
JUSTIFICATION:
1. Lot is only 90 feet deep instead of the standard
100 feet.
2. The house is an older structure with small rooms, and
with a large family, additional room is needed to make
the house more livable. To accomplish this, the new
addition will extend the rear of the house 10 feet and
encroach into the rear yard by 5.5 feet.
Present Use
of the Property: Single Family
Proposed Use
of the Property: Same
STAFF REPORT:
A. Enqineering Issues
No adverse comments have been reported by Engineering.
B. Staff Analysis
The proposal is to construct an addition to the rear of
the residence that will reduce the rear yard to
19.5 feet; the Zoning ordinance requires a rear yard of
25 feet. The new addition will extend the rear of the
structure 10 feet and encroach into the rear yard
approximately 5.5 feet. It appears that the room
addition will not create any adverse impacts on the

Item No. 2 - Continued
adjacent properties, but staff does have one minor
concern and that is very little rear yard will remain
with the construction of the proposed addition. There
currently is an 18' x 26' building that has
substantially decreased the size of the rear yard, and
the proposed addition will reduce it further. Because
of the depth of the lot, 90 feet, a hardship does
exist, and staff does support the request. If the lot
had a depth of 100 feet, a variance would not be
required.
C. Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the variance as filed.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present.
The item was discussed briefly. A motion was made to
approve the variance as filed. The motion passed by a vote
of 8 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
