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

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.
