Ellis Melton Company
5900 Patterson Road
Lot 2-R, Alessi Addition
I-2
Variances are requested from the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 and the area regulations of
Section 36-320 to permit construction
of an addition with a reduced rear
yard setback and which crosses a
platted 30 foot building line.
The property was platted with
building lines on all four sides.
The interior layout of the existing
building dictates that the addition
be constructed as proposed.
Additional space is needed to allow
for the expansion of the business.

Existing pavement is 31 feet back of curb to back of curb.
Patterson is a collector and the width should be 36 feet.
Widen pavement to 18 feet from centerline. Improve ditch
and inlet at the north east corner.
B. Staff Analsis•
The Ellis Melton Company, located at 5900 Patterson Road,
proposes to construct a 34 foot by 82 foot addition onto the
rear of the existing building. The company has experienced
growth and has a need for additional warehouse space. The
proposed addition will cross a platted 30 foot building line
which extends along the rear property line and will have a
rear yard setback of 10 feet. The ordinance requires a rear
yard setback of 25 feet in the I-2 District.

Item 4 n )
The property is located in an area comprised primarily of
industrial uses on larger, I-2 zoned tracts. All abutting
properties are developed with warehousing, wholesaling and
light manufacturing facilities.
The proposed addition would extend to within 10 feet of the
west property line. A 20 foot wide, asphalt driveway is
located beyond that and an industrial building is located
further past the driveway.
The existence of a platted 70 foot building line in front of
the building and the location of parking and loading docks
on the north side, limits any building expansion to the area
proposed.
Staff believes the proposal to be reasonable and supports
the requested variances.
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 rear yard setback
and building line variances subject to the following
conditions:
1. Compliance with the City Engineer's Comments
2. A replat of the lot which reflects the change in the
building line is approved by the Board.
BDARD OF ADJUSTMENT:
