Grant P. Clevidence
75 Glenmere Drive
Lot 499, Broadmoor Addition
R-2
A request is filed under the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 to allow for the reduction of
the platted 25 foot building line
along the Ridgepark Drive property
line to 15 feet.
The lot is unusually shaped, being
85.7 feet wide at the front and
only 30.7 feet wide at the rear.
The platted 25 foot building line
on the Ridgepark Drive side, when
combined with other ordinance
required setbacks, makes the lot
virtually unbuildable.
Vacant
Single Family residence
Due to topography, the Traffic Engineer feels that this
request is acceptable. No significant sight -distance
reduction should occur. Repair any damage caused to curb
and gutter.
B. Staff Analysis:
Lot 499, Broadmoor Addition is a small, unusually shaped lot
located at the southeast corner of Glenmere and Ridgepark
Drives. The lot is 85.7 feet wide on the Glenmere Drive
frontage and narrows to 30.7 feet wide on the rear. On both
the Glenmere and Ridgepark Drive sides there is a platted 25
foot building line. When combined with the other ordinance
required setbacks, the building line on the Ridgepark Drive
side makes the lot virtually unbuildable. The applicant has
filed a request under the building line provisions of
August 28, 1995
item No.: 2 ont.
Section 31-12 to allow for the reduction of the building
line along the Ridgepark Drive property line to 15 feet. No
specific plans have been submitted and the reduction of the
building line is requested for the entirety of the lot's
Ridgepark Drive frontage.
Ridgepark Drive is at the western edge of Broadmoor
subdivision and there are no homes located across the street
to the west. The subdivision abuts Boyle Park at this
point.
There are other homes on the east side of Ridgepark Drive
which are built with a 25 foot front yard setback. Even
with a reduction in the building line to 15 feet, any
potential house will have to be constructed on the north end
of the lot. This has the effect of moving the house away
from the nearest home on Ridgepark and reducing the visual
impact of the decreased building line.
If the building line variance is approved, the applicant
will have to do a one lot replat to reflect the change
approved by the Board. The applicant should review the
filing procedure with the circuit clerk to determine if the
replat requires a revised Bill of Assurance.
Staff believes adequate justification has been presented and
is supportive of the request.
C. Staff Recommendat ion :
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line
reduction subject to a replat of the lot which reflects the
change in the building line as approved by the Board of
Adjustment.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT:
(AUGUST 28, 1995)
The applicant, Grant Clevidence, was present. There were no
objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation
of approval.
In response to a question from the Board, Mr. Clevidence stated
that he understood the requirement to do a one lot replat.
In response to a question from the Board, Dana Carney of the
Planning Staff, stated that the building penciled in on the
agenda sketch was only a representation of a structure which
could be built on the site but that the reduction of the building
line was requested for the entire Ridgepark Drive frontage.
A motion was made to approve the requested building line variance
subject to a replat of the lot which reflects the change in the
