STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Comments.
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 54 Chenal Circle is occupied by a two-story
stucco single family residence. There is a circular drive which serves as
access to the property from Chenal Circle. The property backs up to the
Chenal Golf Course.
The applicant proposes to construct a 1,100 square foot building addition
(one-story) at the southeast corner of the residential structure. The
proposed addition will be located 22 feet to 24.5 feet from the rear (south)
property line. Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance
requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet. Therefore, the applicant
is requesting a variance to allow the building addition with a reduced rear
yard setback.

Item No.: 11
Staff supports the requested variance. The variance is very minor in
nature, with the addition encroaching only 0.5 to 3 feet into the required
rear yard. Additionally, the rear property line of this lot is not parallel to
the front property line. If it were parallel running from the southwest
corner of the property eastward, no variance would be needed. Staff feels
that the requested variance will have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance for a reduced rear
yard setback, as filed.
