319 Normandy Road
Lots 52 and 53, Normandy Addition
R-2
variances are requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-254
and the building line provisions
of Section 31-12 to permit
construction of a garage addition.
Applicant's Statement: The purpose
of the request is to construct a 24
foot by 24 foot attached garage to
the current structure as defined in
the attached layout. Entrance to
the garage will be from (a yet to
be) paved driveway from Normandy.
The current structure does not
include the capability of
protecting vehicles from the
elements nor of providing the
security a garage would provide for
both my vehicles and family
members.
Placement and construction of the
garage will not cause any
disruption or impairment to
traffic, will not in any way impede
or hamper driver visibility on
adjacent streets, but will enhance
the value of said property.

B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 319 Normandy Road is occupied by a
one-story; brick and frame, single-family residence. The
applicant proposes to construct a 24 foot by 24 foot garage
addition onto the north side of the house. The addition
will result in a side yard setback of 6 feet and will be
built across a platted 30 foot building line. The Code
requires a side yard setback of 8 feet for this lot.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. The 2
foot setback variance is minor and should have no impact on
adjacent properties or on traffic on the abutting street.
The property currently has a 5-6 foot tall wood fence on the
north side and the addition will be located within the
fenced in area. Access to the garage will be from Normandy
Road. There will be no direct access from Cantrell Road.
Many homes along this portion of Cantrell Road, primarily
east of University Avenue, have reduced side or front yard
setbacks on the Cantrell Road frontage (resulting from the
widening of Cantrell over the years).
During the review of this item, staff noted that a portion
of the existing house was located across that same platted
30 foot building line. Staff recommends that the Board also
approve a building line variance to address the existing
situation. The house still exceeds required zoning
setbacks.
Should the Board approve the building line variance, the
applicant will have to do a one -lot replat reflecting the
change in the building line as approved by the Board. The
applicant should review the filing procedure with the
Circuit Clerk's office to determine if the replat requires a
revised Bill of Assurance.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback
and building line variances for the proposed garage addition
and the existing house subject to compliance with the
following conditions:
1. A one lot replat reflecting the change in the building
line as approved by the Board.
2. Access to the garage is to only be from Normandy Road.
There is to be no access from Cantrell Road.
