35 Beverly Place
Lot 14, Beverly Place Addition
M.
A variance is requested from the area
provisions of Section 36-254 to allow a
building addition with a reduced side yard
setback.
The applicant's justification is presented in
an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 35 Beverly Place is occupied by a two-story
brick single family residence. There is a frame carport structure
approximately 16 feet from the northeast corner of the residence. The
carport structure is located 2.7 feet from the north (side) property line.
There is a concrete driveway from Beverly Place which serves as access
to the property.
The applicant proposes to construct a building addition to the east end of
the residence, which will incorporate a new 22 foot by 21 foot carport
connected to a new mudroom, master bedroom and bath. The new
addition will be 1 '/2 stories with an eave height of 14 feet. There will be a
game room and study built into the roof with dormers on a second story.
The new carport and covered walkway will be located 1.5 feet from the

north (side) property line (to nearest edge of structure). The new carport
and covered walkway will be unenclosed. The new carport structure will
be constructed of wood or permacast columns, and will incorporate the,
architectural style of the existing residential structure and other
surrounding structures.
Section 36-254(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum
side yard setback of seven (7) feet for this 70 foot wide lot. Therefore, the
applicant is requesting a variance to allow the building addition with a
reduced (1.5 foot) side yard setback.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The portion of the building
addition located within 1.5 feet of the north property line represents only
36 feet of the 147 foot overall lot depth. The proposed new carport and
covered walkway should have no greater impact on the adjacent property
than does the existing carport structure. The proposed building addition
will not be out of character with other residential structures in the general
area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback variance,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The carport /covered walkway portion of the overall building addition
must remain unenclosed on the north, east and west sides.
2. Guttering must be installed on the building addition to prevent water
run-off onto the adjacent property to the north.
3. No portion of the structure is to be located closer than 1.5 feet to the
north property line.
