STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Comments.
B. Staff Analysis:
The applicant's justification is presented in
an attached letter.
Vacant
Single Family Residence
The R-2 zoned lot at 14 Pinnacle View Cove is vacant, with some site
work having taken place in the past. There are relatively new single family
homes to the east, west and south along Pinnacle View Cove, with
undeveloped R-2 zoned property and a railroad right-of-way to the north.
The applicant proposes to construct a new two-story single family
residence on the site which encroaches slightly into the required rear yard.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a reduced rear
yard setback.
The proposed residential structure will extend three (3) feet into the
required rear building setback, resulting in a 22 foot setback from the rear

property line. Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance
requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. This particular lot has an
irregular shape, with only 50 feet of frontage at the end of a cul-de-sac,
widening to 144 feet plus at the rear property line. Because of the
irregular pie -shape, the proposed house had to be setback 42 feet from
the front property line in order to maintain the required side yard and
accommodate a driveway which serves a side loading garage. Staff views
the requested variance as being very minor in nature, as an administrative
approval could be given for a rear setback of 22.5 feet. The proposed
placement of the single family structure should have no adverse impact on
the adjacent single family homes.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance,
as filed.
