STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No issues.
B. Staff Analysis:
A two-story single family residence is currently under construction on the
R-2 zoned lot at 2808 Valley Park Drive. There are several other single
family residences under construction in this immediate area. As part of
the development of this lot, the property owner proposes to construct a 12
foot by 17 foot deck on the rear of the single family structure. The
proposed deck will be uncovered and unenclosed. The setback from the
rear property line to the proposed deck ranges from 16.5 feet to 20 feet.
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum
rear yard setback of 25 feet in R-2 zoning. Therefore, the property owner
requests a variance to allow a reduced rear yard setback for the proposed
deck addition.

No.: 7 (Cont.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance for a reduced rear yard
setback. Staff feels that the request is reasonable, based on the unusual
lot configuration. If the rear property line of this lot were more parallel with
the front property line, the proposed deck addition would comply with the
setback requirements and a variance would not be needed. Staff feels
that the proposed deck addition will have no adverse impact on the
adjacent properties.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance
subject to the deck remaining uncovered and unenclosed.
