Vacant
Single Family Residence
The single family lot at the southeast corner of Ridge Park Drive and
Glenmere Drive is zoned R-2 and is undeveloped. The lot slopes from the
east downward to Ridge Park Drive. The lot has a triangular shape, with
25 foot platted building lines along both the north and west property lines.
The property owner proposes to construct a new single family residence
on the lot. Based on the size and configuration of the lot, the property
owner is requesting a variance from the building line provisions of Section
31-12. The proposed residence extends approximately 13 feet over the
west platted building line, resulting in a 12 foot side yard setback along
Ridge Park Drive. Section 31-12(c) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance

Item No.: 3 (Cont.
requires that variances for encroachments over platted building setback
lines be reviewed by the Board of Adjustment.
Staff is supportive of the building line variance. Staff feels that the
variance is reasonable given the irregular shape of the lot which, with the
addition of platted lines, leaves very little buildable area. The proposed
placement of the structure will align with the existing houses along
Glenmere Drive and be located far enough away from the nearest existing
house to the south as to have no adverse visual impact.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the applicant will have to
complete a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the front platted building
line for the proposed house. The applicant should review the filing
procedure with the Circuit Clerk's office to determine if the replat requires
a revised Bill of Assurance.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line variance subject
to the applicant completing a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the
building line as approved by the Board.
