The pool will have a setback from Hinson Road of approximately 12 feet. The 40 foot platted building line along Hinson Road almost completely encompasses the entire rear yard of the property, greatly reducing the amount of buildable area available. Single-family residential Single-family residential The applicant proposes to construct a 19 foot by 33 foot swimming pool and spa in the rear yard of this property. The rear of this lot fronts onto Hinson Road. The 40 foot building line along the Hinson Road frontage nearly encompasses the entire rear yard. In order for the applicant to construct any structure in the rear yard of his property, a variance to cross the building line is required. The rear of the house is pushed to the 40 foot building line, leaving no other available space to build the pool without obtaining a variance to cross the building line. November 28, 1994 Item No.: 9 (Cont.) The proposed pool will have a setback of approximately 12 feet from the Hinson Road property line and is hidden from the street by a 6 foot opaque fence. Staff feels that the variance is justified and supports the requested variance. If the building line variance is approved, the applicant will need to file a one lot replat and an amended Bill of Assurance to reflect the change in the building line. C.
