Elmer Heringer
38 Lefever Lane
Lot 574, Kingwood Place
R-2
Variances are requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-254
to permit construction of an
addition with a reduced rear yard
setback of 22 feet and a reduced
side yard setback varying from 4
feet to 5.6 feet.
The lot is unusually shaped, with
angled side and rear lot lines.
The house does not sit squarely on
the lot. The interior layout of
the existing house dictates placing
the addition in this location.

The applicant is requesting variances to allow for the
construction of an addition containing a den and utility
room with a reduced rear yard setback of 22 feet and a side
yard setback varying from 4 to 5.6 feet. The ordinance
requires a rear yard setback of 25 feet and a side yard
setback of 6.5 feet for this lot.
The lot is unusually shaped, with both side lot lines and
the rear lot line angling in to reduce the buildable area.
In addition, the house does not sit squarely on the lot.

I nt.
The requested year yard setback of 22 feet is only a 3 foot
variance from the ordinance requirement of 25 feet. This
minor variance will have no impact on adjacent properties.
Due to the angle of the property line, only a small portion
of the south side of the proposed addition will intrude into
the required side yard setback. At the point of intrusion,
the addition is well behind the adjacent house to the south.
The requested side yard variance of 1 -2.5 feet should have
a minimal impact on the adjacent property.
Staff believes the proposal to be reasonable and supports
both of the minor variance requests.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side and rear
yard setback variances.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (SEPTEMBER 25, 1995)
The applicant, Elmer Heringer, was present. There were no
objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation
of approval.

A motion was made to approve the requested side and rear yard
setback variances. The motion was approved by a vote of 8 ayes,
0 noes and 1 absent.
