Pebble Beach Corporation
1801, 1805 and 1809 Sawgrass Drive
Lots 81, 82 and 83 Pebble Beach
Estates
R-2
A variance is requested from the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 to permit construction of
single family homes on each of
these lots which cross platted
building lines.
The lots have an excessive slope
which requires moving the houses
forward.
Vacant lots
Single Family residences
Repair curb and gutter and/or sidewalk damaged during or
prior to construction with construction.
B. Staff Analysis:
These 3 lots are located in Pebble Beach Estates, a newly
developing residential subdivision located south of Pebble
Beach and west of Hinson Road. Several new homes are
currently under construction although most of the area is
still undeveloped. The front portion of the lots are level
with the street. The rear half of the lots slopes upward at
about 12%. The grade changes by approximately 20 feet,
limiting the buildable area to the front of the lots. There
is currently a 25 foot building line adjacent to the
streets. The presence of the platted building line, when
combined with the difficult terrain, makes it very difficult
to construct a home which conforms to the architectural and
square footage standards called for in the subdivision's
Bill of Assurance.

Item No.• 7 Cont.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting that the building
line adjacent to the streets be reduced to 15 feet, allowing
more of the level portion of the lots to be used for
ponstruction of the homes.
The actual setback from the curb of the street will be 26+
feet, providing adequate sight -distance. Reduced building
lines of 15 feet are not uncommon on hillside lots in the
City.
The houses shown on the site plan are illustrative and do
not represent the actual homes which will be built on the
lots. However, staff would encourage the applicant to use a
similar design in which only the garage extends to the 15
foot line and the bulk of the structure stays behind the 25
foot line.
Should the Board approve the building line variance, the
applicant will have to do a one -lot replat to reflect the
change in the building line. 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 the following conditions:
1. Compliance with Public Works Comments
2. A replat reflecting the change in the building line as
approved by the Board.
BOARD OF ADJUSTM :
(JANUARY 27, 1997)
Patrick McGetrick was present representing the application.
There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a
recommendation of approval.
Mr. McGetrick stated that he agreed with staff's recommendation.
He stated that he felt the homes could be designed as suggested
by staff, so that most of the structure would be behind the 25
foot line.
A motion was made to approve the requested building line variance
as recommended by staff. The motion was approved by a vote of
5 ayes, 0 noes, 3 absent and 1 open position.
