Z-6193
Jon Staton Construction Company
12300 Cherryside Drive
Lot 26, Block 4, Cherry Creek
Addition
R-2
A variance is requested from the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 to permit the construction of
steps across a platted 25 foot
building line.
This new house is nearly complete.
Due to the slope of the lot, more
steps are needed to enter the front
door than first estimated.
Single Family residence, under
construction
Single Family residence
No apparent Public Works issues. Repair any damaged curb or
driveway apron within the public right-of-way with
construction.
B. Staff Analysis:
The applicant has nearly finished construction of a new
single family residence on this R-2 zoned lot. Due to the
slope of the lot, the front of the house sits higher above
grade than first estimated by the applicant. The front wall
of the house sits on the front 25 foot platted building
line. Steps needed to access the front porch, which appears
to be 3.5-4 feet above grade, will have to be built across
the building line. The encroachment will be for a distance
of approximately 50 inches. The steps will be constructed
of brick to match the house and no roof will extend over the
building line.

No.: 7 (Cont.
Staff believes the applicant has submitted adequate
justification to support the variance. The minor
encroachment across the building line will have no effect on
adjacent properties.
Should the Board approve the building line variance, the
applicant will need to do a one lot replat to reflect the
change as 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 building line
variance subject to compliance with the following
conditions:
1. A one lot replat to reflect the change as approved by
the Board.
2. Compliance with Public Works Comments
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (SEPTEMBER 30, 1996)
The applicant, Jon Staton, was present. There were no objectors
present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of
approval, with conditions.
Mr. Staton offered no additional comments.
A motion was made to approve the building line variance subject
to compliance with the conditions outlined in the staff
recommendation. The motion was approved by a vote of 6 ayes,
0 noes and 3 absent.
