Steve and Judy Owens
7 Reynard Court
Lot 4, Foxcroft Addition
R-2
A variance is requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-254
to permit construction of an
addition with a reduced rear yard
setback.
The reduced rear yard setback is
necessary to provide proper depth
for a 2 -car carport without also
encroaching into the required side
yard setback as well.
Single Family residence
Single Family residence
All driveways shall have concrete aprons per City Ordinance.
H. Staff Analysis:
The owners of the R-2 zoned property located at 7 Reynard
Court propose to substantially remodel their home including
constructing additions to the front and rear of the house
and enclosing the existing carport. The addition to the
rear will include a new two -car carport with storage. The
proposed carport addition encroaches into the required rear
yard setback by 8 feet, resulting in a rear yard setback of
17 feet. The code requires a rear yard setback of 25 feet.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. The
reduced rear yard setback is only for the 24 foot width of
the carport. This leaves adequate open rear yard area. The
proposed additions meet or exceed all other required
setbacks. The addition will be one-story in height and
should have no impact on adjacent properties. The property
to the rear is occupied by a single family home with a rear
yard setback exceeding 25 feet.
