Nathaniel Saine
3915 W. 10th Street
Lot 4, Block 11, Forest Hill
Addition
R-4
A variance is requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-256.
The applicant has resided at this
location for over 20 years and
desires to stay at this address.
The relatively small size of the
lot limits the area available for
expanding the house.
Single Family
Single Family
The R-4 zoned property at 3915 West 10th Street is currently
occupied by a one story, brick and frame single family
residence. The applicant proposes to construct a 27 foot by
33.5 foot addition onto the rear of the house which will
contain a family room. The addition will have a rear yard
setback of 14.5 feet. The ordinance requires a rear yard
setback of 25 feet for this lot.
The applicant has lived at this address for over 20 years
and desires to stay in this home rather than relocate. He
has a large family and desires to expand the home by adding
a family room onto the rear of the house. The lot is a
typical "Central City" lot, 46 feet wide by 132 feet deep.
The relatively small size of the lot makes it difficult to
accommodate a large home without setback variances.

Item No.: 4
Staff believes the request to be reasonable. The reduced
rear yard setback for this proposed addition should not
impact any adjacent properties. There is an open, 16 foot
wide alley right-of-way located to the rear which provides
additional open space and separation from the property to
the south. There are several structures in this block which
are built directly on or very near the alley. It is in the
City's best interest to encourage single family residential
development in this area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback
variance.
