23 Chalamont Way
Lot 32, Block 73, Chenal Valley Addition
R-2
A variance is requested from the area
provisions of Section 36-254 to allow a
deck addition with a reduced rear yard
setback.
The applicant's justification is presented in
an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
A two-story single family residential structure is currently under
construction on the R-2 zoned lot at 23 Chalamont Way. There are three
(3) other single family residents at the end of Chalamont, Way which are
currently under construction. The property owner wishes to construct a 12
foot by 18 foot uncovered deck on the rear (west side) of the single family
structure. The deck will maintain a 15 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 for single family homes in R-2
zoning. Therefore, the property owner is requesting a variance to allow
the deck construction with a reduced rear yard setback.
Staff is supportive of the variance request. Staff feels that the variance is
reasonable based on the unusual shape of the lot. This lot has only 94

feet of lot depth, with an excessive slope. Staff feels that the deck
addition will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties. There
were no lots shown to the rear (south and west) of this lot on the approved
preliminary plat of this subdivision. Additionally, the property west and
south of this lot has excessive slope that, in all likelihood, will not be
conducive to any future development.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance, subject to the deck
addition remaining uncovered and unenclosed.
