Michael and Angelynn Hardcastle
2900 Crouchwood Road
Lot 41, Kingwood Place Addition
R-2
A variance is . requested from the area
provisions of Section 36-254 to allow a
building addition with a reduced side yard
setback.
The applicant's justification is presented
in an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 2900 Crouchwood Road is occupied by a
1 Y2story brick and frame single family residence. There is a two -car
driveway from Crouchwood Road which serves as access. The property
slopes downward from front to back and side to side (north to south). On
July 26, 1994, the Board of Adjustment approved a zero side yard setback
for the existing carport structure at the northeast corner of the residence.
The only condition of approval was that the carport be unenclosed.
The applicant is currently proposing to construct a 15 foot by 15 foot
dining room addition with a small deck at the northwest corner of the
existing residence, behind the existing carport structure. The proposed
building addition will be located 3.5 feet from the side (north) property line.

ITEM NO.- 3 �Cont.
Section 36-254(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum
side yard setback of seven (7) feet for this R-2 zoned lot. Therefore, the
applicant is requesting a variance from this ordinance standard. The
applicant is currently constructing a room addition at the southwest corner
of the reside'ntial structure which conforms to ordinance standards.
Staff is supportive of the requested side yard setback variance. Staff
views the request as reasonable, given the fact that the Board of
Adjustment previously allowed the zero side setback for the unenclosed
carport structure. The residence to the north is located approximately
eight (8) feet from the dividing side property.line. Therefore, the proposed
3.5 foot side yard setback will provide adequate separation between the
two structures. Staff feels that the proposed building addition will have no
adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback variance,
subject to the existing carport structure remaining unenclosed on the north
and east sides.
