Justification: Present Use of Property Proposed Use of Property: STAFF REPORT A. Public Works Issues: No Comments. B. Staff Analysis: The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter. Single Family Residential Single Family Residential The property at 53 Pebble Beach Drive is occupied by a 1 'h story brick and frame single family residence. There is a two -car driveway from Lin Court which serves as access. The property slopes downward from south to north. There is a 40 foot platted building line along the north and west property lines. The applicants propose to construct a 25 foot by 38 foot addition to the west end of the single family structure. The addition will have the same height as the existing structure, with a three -car garage on the ground April 28, 2003 Item No.: 10 (Cont. floor and living space above. The proposed addition will cross the platted building line along Lin Court from three (3) to thirteen (13) feet. Section 31-12(c) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires that any platted building line encroachment be reviewed and approved by the Board of Adjustment. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance for the proposed encroachment. Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The proposed building addition will maintain a setback from the west property line of 27 to 37 feet. The Zoning Ordinance would typically require a 25 foot platted building line along this street side property line. Additionally, the proposed addition does not encroach into the front 40 foot platted building line along the Pebble Beach Drive property line, and therefore does not create a misalignment of the houses along this main neighborhood street. Staff feels that this variance request is very minor in nature, as Lin Court serves only four (4) residential lots. The proposed building line encroachment should have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or general area. If the Board approves the building line variance, the applicant will have to complete a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the side building line for the proposed building addition. The applicant should review the filing procedure with the Circuit Clerk's office to determine if the replat requires a revised Bill of Assurance. C. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the requested building line variance, subject to completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the side platted building line as approved by the Board. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (APRIL 28, 2003) 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
