A variance is requested from
the area provisions of Section
36-254 to allow a building
addition with a reduced side
yard setback.
The applicant's justification is
presented in an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 5012 Hawthorne Road is
occupied by a one-story, frame single family residence
with a single car driveway from Hawthorne Road. The
applicant proposes to construct a 25 foot - 2 inch by
31 foot - 8 inch addition at the northeast corner of
the existing residential structure. The addition will
be two-story construction, with a garage on the ground
level and additional bedrooms in the second story. The
proposed garage/bedroom addition will have a three (3)
foot side yard setback from the east property line.
Section 36-254(d)(2) requires a minimum side yard

Item No.: 5
setback of six (6) feet (ten percent of the average
width of the lot) .
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Given
the fact that the proposed three (3) foot building
setback will be for only 31 feet - 8 inches of the
overall 140 foot lot depth, the proposed building
addition should have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties. Also, staff feels that the separation
between this structure and the residence immediately to
the east will be sufficient. Staff does not believe
that the reduced side yard setback will be out of
character with the neighborhood. There are numerous
single family structures in this general area with side
yard building setbacks of less than three (3) feet.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard
setback variance, subject to gutters being installed on
the building addition to prevent water runoff onto the
adjacent property.
