Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 1019 N. Polk Street is occupied by a two-story

will be for an additional bathroom. The proposed addition will be located

requesting a variance from this ordinance requirement. The proposed
addition meets all other setback requirements.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the request as
very minor in nature. The proposed three (3) foot side yard setback will
allow enough room for construction and maintenance of the building
addition. The proposed addition should have no adverse impact on the
adjacent properties or the general area. The house on the property
immediately to the north is located approximately 6.5 feet from the
common side property line.
F. Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval of the requested setback variance, subject to
a building permit being obtained for the proposed construction.
