Maury and Lindy Mitchell
1815 N. Tyler Street
Lot 23, Englewood Addition
R-2
A variance is requested from the area
provisions of Section of 36-254 to allow a
building addition with a reduced side yard
setback.
The applicants' justification is presented in
an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 1815 N. Tyler Street is occupied by a two-story
brick single family residence. There is an existing one-story frame garage
in the rear yard. A one car driveway from N. Tyler Street serves as
access.
The applicants propose to remove the existing accessory garage and
construct a one-story building addition on the rear of the existing house.
The proposed addition will accommodate a new kitchen, family room,
laundry and master bedroom with bath. The proposed addition will have a
setback of 2.66 feet from the south property line. The existing garage
structure is located approximately 2.4 feet from the south line. Section
36-254(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum side

yard setback of five (5) feet for this lot. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a variance from this ordinance standard.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. As noted earlier, the
existing garage is located slightly closer to the side property line than the
proposed addition. The proposed addition will only be approximately 11
feet wider (east to west) than the existing garage structure. The single
family structure to the south is located approximately 8.5 feet from its
north property line, so adequate spacing between the two structures
should exist. Staff feels that based on the fact that a one-story addition is
proposed, the 2.66 foot side yard setback should provide enough space
for construction and maintenance of the structure. Staff believes the
proposed building addition will have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback variance,
as filed.
