#11 Robyn Lane
Lot 10, Pennwyck Subdivision
R-2
A variance is requested from the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 to permit construction of a
house which crosses a platted
building line.
The presence of two, 25 foot
building lines on this corner lot
reduces the buildable area
available without a variance.
Vacant lot
Single Family residence
#11 Robyn Lane is located in a newly developed residential
subdivision, south of Taylor Loop Road and east of
Montgomery Road. Several new homes are now being built in
this small subdivision. The applicant proposes to build a
new, two-story residence on the lot at the southeast corner
of Robyn Lane and Montgomery Road. The proposed house will
encroach across the platted 25 foot building line on the
Montgomery Road side.
The lot has platted 25 foot building lines on both the
montgomery Road and Robyn Lane frontages, reducing the
buildable area available. The applicant desires to provide
the required 8 foot side yard setback on the east side. Erue
to the presence of the two building lines and the
applicant's desire to maintain the required side yard

setback on the east, the proposed house will not fit on the
lot without a variance.
The variance affects the Montgomery Road side of the lot.
The proposed house crosses the building line by 2 feet in
one area and 4 feet in another. At the point where the
encroachment is greatest, the house will still sit 38 feet
from the curb of Montgomery Road. Montgomery Road is a
1,400± foot, dead-end street with very little traffic. The
reduced setback proposed by the applicant will not impact
traffic on the street and will not be that visually
noticeable.
The property across the street is sparsely developed. It is
currently occupied by several outbuildings and a horse f arm.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable.
if the Board approves the building line variance, the
applicant will have to do a one -lot replat reflecting the
change in the building line 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 Recommendatio :
Staff recommends approval of the building line variance
subject to a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the
building line as approved by the Board.
