ITFM NO_- 16
File No.: Z-7447
Owner: Jim Pagan
Address: 3900 Doral Drive
Description: Lot 22, Block 9, Pleasant Valley Addition
Zoned: R-2
Variance Requested: A variance is requested from the building
line provisions of Section 31-12 to allow a
building addition which crosses a platted
building line.
Justification: The applicant's justification is presented in
an attached letter.
Present Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential
STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Issues.
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 3900 Doral Drive is occupied by a two-story
frame single family residence. The property has an extreme slope
downward from north to south. There is a two -car driveway from Doral
Drive. Doral Drive is a public street which ends in a hammer -head
turnaround immediately east of this property, and continues as a private
street in front of this property and on to the west.
The applicant proposes to construct a 21.2 foot by 16.4 foot building
addition, which will close in the southeast corner of the existing structure.
The proposed addition will cross a 25 foot side platted building line by
approximately five (5) feet, at the southeast corner of the addition.
Section 31-12(c) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires that building

line encroachments (variances) be reviewed and approved by the Board
of Adjustment. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance for the
proposed building line encroachment. The applicant notes in the attached
cover letter that the building addition is proposed in order to enlarge the
home's existing kitchen.
Staff is supportive of the requested building line variance. Staff feels that
the proposed building line encroachment is reasonable, due to the
irregular platted building line arrangement and lot shape, caused by the
hammer -head turnaround at the end of the public section of Doral Drive.
Only approximately 45 square feet of the proposed addition will cross the
platted building line. The proposed building addition will have no adverse
impact on the adjacent properties or general area. The lot to the east is
located approximately 45 feet from proposed building addition. That lot
is currently undeveloped and owned by this same property owner
(Jim Pagan).
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.
