Owner: Address: Description: Zoned: Variance Requested: Justification: Present Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: STAFF REPORT A. Public Works Issues: No issues. B. Staff Analysis: Z-7123 Beverly Ann Barnes 27 Willow Oak Court Lot 39, Block 7, Parkway Place Addition Phase II A variance is requested from the building line provisions of Section 31-12 to permit a room addition which crosses a rear platted building line. The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter. Single Family Residential Single Family Residential The R-2 zoned property at 27 Willow Oak Court is occupied by a one-story frame single family residence. There is an existing deck on the rear of the structure, which is approximately four (4) feet above grade. The lot has 25 foot platted building lines along the front and rear property lines. Parkside Drive runs along the lot's rear (north) property line. The applicant proposes to remove the existing deck from the rear of the building and construct a 12 foot by 22 foot sunroom addition. The proposed addition will encroach slightly over the rear platted building line. December 17, 2001 Item No.: 7 The addition will encroach 0.7 foot over the platted building line at the addition's northwest corner, and 2.3 feet at the northeast corner. Section 31-12(c) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires that variances for encroachments over platted building setback lines be reviewed and approved by the Board of Adjustment. Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The proposed rear yard setback, being less than a 10% encroachment, could have been signed off on administratively by staff, if a platted building line were not involved. The single family residence has a rear yard relationship with a street right-of-way = (Parkside Drive), and therefore, staff does not believe that the requested variance will have a negative effect on the adjacent properties or the general area. If the Board approves the building applicant will have to complete a reflecting the change in the rear proposed addition. The applicant filing procedure with the Circuit determine if the replat requires Assurance. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the building line variance subject to lot replat reflecting the change line as approved by the Board. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: line variance, the one -lot replat building line for the should review the Clerk's office to a revised Bill of requested rear completion of a one - in the rear building (DECEMBER 17, 2001) The applicant was present.
