4800 Crestwood Drive
Lot 48, Cliffewood Addition
R-2
Variances are requested from the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 and the area regulations of
Section 36-254 to permit
construction of an addition with a
reduced side yard and which is
built across a platted building
line.
The interior layout of the existing
house limits the location of the
Proposed master bedroom suite to
this end of the house.

The R-2 zoned property located at 4800 Crestwood Drive is
currently occupied by an older, two-story brick and frame,
single-family residence. The owners of the home propose to
expand the structure by adding a master bedroom suite onto
the east side. The addition will be built across a platted
20 foot building line and will have a reduced side yard
setback of 5.2 feet. The ordinance requires a side yard
setback of 7.2 feet for this lot.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. Due
to the interior layout of the existing home (plumbing, etc.)
the applicant states that the proposed location is the best
Place to construct the master bedroom suite. The minor
variance from the ordinance required side yard setback
should have no effect on adjacent properties. The addition

will maintain a setback of 20 feet from the curb of Spruce
Street and should not create a sight -distance issue. The
area where the addition is proposed is currently enclosed by
a 6 foot tall privacy fence, a portion of which actually
extends approximately 2 feet into the Spruce Street right-
of-way.
Should the Board approve the building line variance, the
applicants will have to do a one -lot replat, reflecting the
change in the building line. The applicants should review
the filing procedure with the Circuit Clerk's office to
determine if the replat requires a revised Bill of
Assurance.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line and
side yard setback variances subject to compliance with the
following conditions:
1. A one -lot replat reflecting the change in the building
line as approved by the Board.
2• Any portion of the existing privacy fence which is in
the public right-of-way must be removed.
