Z-5940
Richard Massey and Sharla Goodman
2505 N. Grant Street
Lots 4 and 5, Block 27, Park View
Addition
R-2
From the area regulations of
Section 36-254 to permit
construction of an addition with a
reduced rear yard setback of 15.5
feet and a reduced side yard
setback of 7 feet. The Ordinance
requires a rear yard and side yard
setback of 25 feet and 8 feet
respectively in the R-2 district.
The applicants propose to raze an
existing 337 square foot accessory
building and build in its place a
two story addition containing a
bedroom, bathroom, workout room and
storage. The new addition is
pulled 10.6 feet away from the
existing residence in order to save
two large trees; an oak toward the
north property line and a pecan
toward the east. The addition also
needs to be at the proposed
location to accommodate the
existing interior house layout and
to prevent disturbance of other
landscaping.

Item No.: 6 (Cont.
B. Staff Anal sas:
The applicants propose to remove an existing accessory
structure and build in its place a two story addition to the
residence. The new addition would be connected to the
existing residence by an 8 foot wide, enclosed link. The
proposed addition will maintain the same rear yard setback
as the existing accessory structure. The Ordinance requires
a rear yard setback of 25 feet and the applicants propose a
15.5 foot setback. The property behind 2505 N. Grant Street
is owned by the City and occupied by a large water tower.
The majority of this City owned property is vacant and has
almost a park like appearance.
The proposed addition will also have a side yard setback of
7 feet, one foot less than the Ordinance requirement. The
addition is located at the rear of the applicant's lot and
should have no impact on the adjacent property. It will
maintain the same side yard setback as the existing
residence.
Staff believes the proposal is reasonable and supports both
the side yard and rear yard setback variances.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard and
rear yard setback variances.
