A variance is filed under the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 to allow a swimming pool to
be built across a platted 25 foot
building line.
This is the only area available on
the site to place a pool. Placing
the pool here will save 6 trees and
the other extensive landscaping.

The drainage and utility easement needs to be abandoned in
this area.
B. Staff Analysis:
12400 Hunter's Glen Blvd. is the address of the Countrywood
Condominium development. The applicant's home is one of the
detached dwellings located within the development. The
house occupies most of the buildable area of the lot. The
remainder of the lot is unbuildable due to access easements
and building lines. The applicant proposes to have an,in-
ground swimming pool installed behind her house. As
proposed, the pool will be built across the 25 foot platted
building line which extends along the north side of Hunter's
Glen Blvd.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. The
pool is to be located on the only available buildable area
of the applicant's lot. The pool will be located behind the
6 foot tall brick wall which encloses the condominium
development and will not be visible to anyone. The

Countrywood Board of Directors and the Countrywood Property
Owner's Association have approved the applicant's plans.
Should the Board approve the variance, the applicant will
have to do a replat reflecting the change in the building
line. The applicant should review the filing procedure with
the Circuit Clerk's office to determine if the replat
requires a revised Bill of Assurance.
The replat will address the easement issue noted by Public
Works. All utilities have approved the pool location.

Staff recommends approval of the requested building line
variance subject to a replat reflecting the change in the
building line as approved by the Board.
