Address: 2808 Valley Park Drive Description: Lot 70, Pebble Beach Woods Addition, Phase II Zoned: R-2 Variance Requested: A variance is requested from the area provisions of Section 36-254 to allow construction of a deck addition with a reduced rear yard setback. Justification- The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter. ' Present Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential 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. June 24, 2002 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. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JUNE 24, 2002) The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval. The applicant offered no additional comments. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and approved as recommended by staff by a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays. 2
