James Built Homes, Inc.
#7 Parliament Place
Lot 3, Block 5, The Villages
of Wellington
R-2
A variance is requested from the
area regulations of Section 36-254
to permit a deck addition with a
reduced rear yard setback.
The applicant's justification is
presented in an attached letter.
Single Family, under construction
Single Family
A new, single-family residence is currently being built on
the R-2 zoned lot located at #7 Parliament Place. The lot
slopes down from the street toward the rear property line.
The house has the appearance of one story from the front,
but is taller when viewed from the rear. The builder has
constructed a deck onto the rear of the house, at the main
level, to provide egress from the rear of the house. The
deck has a rear yard setback of 18 feet. The code requires
a rear yard setback of 25 feet for this lot.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The variance
is for only the 16 foot width of the deck, a small
percentage of the overall 151+ foot width of the rear of
this lot. The property backs up to and overlooks a church.

have no effect on the adjacent property.

variance subject to the deck remaining uncovered and
unenclosed.
