STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Comments.
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 4 Coray Court is occupied by a two-story brick
single family residence. A concrete drive from Coray Court serves as
access to the property. There is a 35 foot platted building line along the
front property line and two (2) other unusually shaped platted building
lines along the side and rear property lines. There are also easements
along the side and rear property lines. The rear and side building lines
and easements were platted in order to keep the construction of
structures as far back as possible from the Chenal Valley golf course.
The property owner proposes to construct a swimming pool in the rear
yard which crosses one (1) of the rear platted building lines. Section 31-
12(c) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires that encroachments
across platted building lines be reviewed by the Board of Adjustment.

Item No.: 16 _(Cont.
Therefore, the property owner requests a variance to allow the swimming
pool to cross the platted building line.
Staff is supportive of the requested building line variance. The proposed
swimming pool vastly exceeds the minimum required setbacks for
accessory structures. As of this writing, staff has requested that the
applicant provide a letter of approval from Chenal Properties, based on
the fact that the proposed swimming pool encroaches over a building line
that was platted because of the Chenal Valley golf course. The applicant
will also need to assure that any Bill of Assurance requirements
(architectural review, etc.) are complied with.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the applicant will have to
complete a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the platted building line
for the proposed swimming pool. 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 of the building line variance subject to the
following conditions:
1. The applicant must obtain a letter of approval from Chenal
Properties.
2. All Bill of Assurance requirements must be complied with.
3. A one -lot replat must be completed reflecting the change in the
platted building line as approved by the Board.
