B, Staff Ana[Vsis:
The R-2 zoned property at 16701 Davis Cup Lane (northeast corner of
Davis Cup Lane and Pine Breeze Court) is occupied by a one-story brick
and frame single family residence. A two -car driveway from Davis Cup
Lane serves as access to the property. The property slopes downward
from Davis Cup Lane to the east. The existing residential structure sits
behind a 25 foot platted building line which runs along both street
frontages.
The applicant proposes to remove a 12 foot by 17.5 foot wood deck from
the rear of the residential structure and replace it with a 12 foot by 29 foot
sunroom addition. The northeast corner of the sunroom addition will be 6
feet from the rear property line. Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning
September 30, 2002
Item No.: 18
Ordinance states that when providing a 25 foot exterior side yard, the rear
yard may be reduced to not less than 8 feet. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a variance to allow the sunroom addition with a reduced rear
yard setback.
Staff supports the requested variance. Staff feels that the requested
variance is very minor. The' �roposed 6 foot rear yard setback occurs at
the northeast corner of the sunroom addition only. The rear yard setback
increases as the building addition runs to the south, with a rear yard -
setback of 11 feet at the addition's southeast corner. Staff feels that the
proposed sunroom addition will have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance,
as filed.
