Jeff and Vicki Shollmier
#5 River Oaks Circle
Lot 5, River Oaks Addition
R-2
From the area regulations of
Section 36-254 and the building
line provisions of Section 31-12 to
permit construction of an addition
with a reduced side yard setback
and which crosses a platted 20 foot
building line.
Due to an irregularly shaped lot,
sloping terrain and the placement
of the existing house, variances
are required to accommodate the
planned additions.

There exists only 20 feet of right-of-way from centerline of
street on this side of road. Platted right-of-way is 45
feet with centerline off center. Therefore the structure
would be 35 feet from centerline. Due to the steep grades
will the encroachment on the side yard create a problem with
diverting water onto adjacent lot? Unless engineering
designs are submitted to eliminate this potential, recommend
denial of side yard variance.
H. Staff Analysis:
The applicant proposes to expand this existing, one story
residence by constructing additions to the rear, side and
front of the house. Due to the irregular shape of the lot
and the sloping terrain, it is impractical to construct the
additions in any other location. The existing house site
was actually cut into the slope of the hillside. The
proposed additions will encroach 4 feet into the required 8

foot side yard setback and will cross the platted front yard
building line by 5 feet.
The side yard setback variance requested is to allow a minor
"point" intrusion at two locations. These minor intrusions
should have no impact on the adjacent property.
The 5 foot encroachment into the 20 foot building line also
appears to be a minor issue. The structure will maintain a
setback of 20+ feet from River Oaks Circle which is a short,
residential cul-de-sac. This property is at a lower
elevation than the adjacent property to the west which
should help lessen the visual impact.
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.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback
and building line variances subject to the following
conditions:
1. The design of the addition is to be such that no water
run-off will be diverted onto the adjacent property.
2. The existing driveway is to be removed.
3. A replat of the lot which reflects the change in the
building line as approved by the Board of Adjustment.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
(OCTOBER 30, 1995)
Mark Alderfer stepped down from the Board and represented the
applicant on this item. There were no objectors present. Staff
presented the item and a recommendation of approval, with
conditions.
Mr. Alderfer stated that neither owner was able to be present and
that they asked him to represent them. He stated that he
understood and accepted staff's recommendation.
A motion was made to approve the requested side yard setback and
building line variances subject to compliance with those
conditions outlined in the staff recommendation. The motion was
approved by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 1 abstaining
(Alderfer) .
