20 Hearthside Drive
Lot 27, Overlook Park
R-2
The request is filed under the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 to permit construction of a
swimming pool and deck which will
cross a platted 25 foot building
line.
Due to the slope of the property
and the applicant's desire to tie a
new patio to the existing patio,
this location is the only one
appropriate for the placement of
the pool. The lot has frontage on
two streets with a 25 foot building
line along the rear property line.
This greatly reduces the amount of
buildable area available.

Single-family residential with
swimming pool
The applicants propose to construct a swimming pool in the
rear yard of this residential property. A portion of the
pool and the wood deck adjacent to it will cross a platted
25 foot building line which extends along the rear property
line.
The property is a double frontage lot with the front of the
home facing Hearthside Drive and the rear fronting onto
Timberlake Drive. The 25 foot building line on the

Item No.: 8 (Cont.
Timberlake Drive frontage, combined with the slope of the
property and the existing home, limits the available
building area on the site. The applicants desire to extend
an existing patio by adding a new concrete patio which will
wrap around the south side of the pool:
Due to the slope of the property, the concrete patio will
transition into a wood deck which wraps around the north
side of the pool. At its highest point, the deck will be 3
to 4 feet above grade. The wood decking will be skirted
with lattice panels.
Several of the homes on Hearthside Drive which back up to
Timberlake Drive have privacy fences along their rear
property lines. The construction of this pool and deck will
have a minimal visual impact on adjacent properties.
Staff feels that the request is reasonable and supports the
variance.
If the building line variance is approved, the applicant
should file a one lot replat and an amended Bill of
Assurance to reflect the change in the building line.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line
variance.
