31-12 to permit construction of a

B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 12,911 West Glen Drive is
occupied by a new, two-story, brick and frame, single-family
residence. The lot slopes up from Gamble Road to West Glen
Drive. The lot has frontage on both West Glen Drive and
Gamble Road. Twenty-five foot building lines extend along
both street frontages. The applicant proposes to install a
16' X 32' swimming pool in the rear yard. A 4' concrete
deck will wrap around the pool. The pool and deck will
extend across the platted 25 -foot building line on the
Gamble Road perimeter. The pool conforms to zoning setback
and area coverage requirements.

Item No.: 4 (Cont.)
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Virtually
the entire rear yard is impacted by the building line. The
building line was put in place to assure that the homes on
these lots maintained a proper setback from Gamble Road. A
6 -foot tall privacy fence extends along the Gamble Road
perimeter. This in -ground pool will be mostly hidden by the
fence. The pool is set back 151± from the rear property
line and 251± from the curb of Gamble Road. Allowing the
pool and deck to encroach across the rear building line
should have no effect on adjacent properties or on traffic
in the street.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the
applicant will have to do a one lot 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.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval
variance for the pool and
reflecting the change in
the Board.
