Deltic Timber Corporation
9 Chelle Cove
Lot 18, Block 61, Chenal Valley Addition
R-2
A variance is requested from the area
provisions of Section 36-254 to allow
construction of a single family residence
with a reduced rear yard setback.
The applicant's justification is presented in
an attached letter.
Undeveloped
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 9 Chelle Cove is currently undeveloped and
tree -covered. The lot slopes generally downward from front to back (north
to south). All of the abutting property is zoned R-2 and is currently
undeveloped. There are several single family homes under construction
to the west, within this new subdivision of Chenal Valley.
The applicant proposes to construct new a one-story single family
residence on the lot at 9 Chelle Cove. The applicant is requesting one (1)
variance with the proposed lot development. The rear yard setback for
the proposed house ranges from 16.5 feet at the southeast corner of
the structure to 19.5 feet at the structure's southwest corner. Section
36-254(d)(3) requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet.

Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The single family lot has a
15 foot front platted building line. Because of the irregular shape of the
lot, the proposed house has been pushed back to approximately 24 feet
from the front property line in order to provide the required eight (8) foot
side yards. If the house were able to be located at the front building line,
no variance for the rear yard setback would be required. The survey of
the lot notes that the area immediately to the south is an open space
buffer, which is typical of the Chenai Subdivisions. Based on this, staff
feels that the requested rear yard setback variance will have no adverse
impact on the adjacent properties or the general area. Additionally, the
applicant has received a letter from the Chenal Valley Architectural
Control Committee approving of the proposed construction.
C. Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance,
as filed.
