John Ostner
304 N. Ridge Road
Lot 388, Kingwood Place
R-2
A variance is requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-254
to permit an addition with reduced
side yard setback.
The applicant needs additional
bedroom space for his expanding
family. The interior layout of the
existing home dictates that the
addition be located as proposed.
Single Family residence
Single Family residence
The R-2 zoned lot at 304 N. Ridge Road is occupied by a
split level, brick and frame single family residence. The
home is now being remodeled and expanded, including the
construction of two additions, one to the rear of the home
and one to the side. The addition on the side is proposed
to have a side yard setback of 6.5 feet. The Code requires
a side yard setback of 8 feet for this lot.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. Due
to the interior layout of the house, the proposed bedroom
expansion needs to be located as proposed. Due to the angle
of the house in relationship to the angled side property
line, the encroachment involves only a very small portion of
the addition. This point encroachment should not have an
impact on the adjacent property. The house on the adjacent
lot has a side yard setback of 20± feet.
