James -and Deborah Rudolph
#8 Cypress Cove
Lot 237, The Ranch Addition
R-2
A variance is requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-254
to permit construction of a new
house with a reduced rear yard
setback.
The lot has a unusual shape, being
narrow at the front. The house has
been situated to accommodate a
side -loaded garage. The lot backs
up to a lake so the reduced rear
yard will not impact any other
properties.
Vacant lot
Single Family
The applicant proposes to construct a new single family
residence on the R-2 zoned lot located at #8 Cypress Cove.
The residence is proposed to have a reduced rear yard
setback of 15.5± feet. The code requires a rear yard
setback of 25 feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The lot is
"pie -shaped", being narrow at the front. The house has been
situated farther back than the standard 25 foot front yard

setback to accommodate a side -loaded garage. The proposed
encroachment involves only a small corner of the residence.

intrusion into the rear yard area will not impact other
properties.

variance, as filed.
