an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 1 Pinehurst Circle is occupied by a one-story
brick and frame single family residence. There is a driveway from Valley
Club Circle which serves as access. The applicants are currently
remodeling and adding building area to the front of the residential
structure. The lot has a 40 foot platted building line along the north and
west property lines (street frontages).
The applicant's plan is to add approximately 1,800 square feet of building
area along the front of the existing home. The applicants also propose to
add a new driveway from Pinehurst Circle. The proposed addition will
adhere to the 40 foot setback from the north property line and extend over
the west 40 foot platted building line by approximately nine (9) feet,

resulting in a 31 foot setback from the west (Valley Club Circle) property
line.
The applicants are requesting a variance to allow the encroachment over
the platted building line. Section 31-12 of the City's Zoning Ordinance
requires that variances for encroachments over platted building lines be
reviewed and approved by the Board of Adjustment.
Staff is supportive of the building line variance. Staff views the
encroachment as very minor. Only approximately 94 square feet of the
proposed addition will encroach over the platted building line. As noted
earlier, the structure will be located approximately 31 feet back from the
west property line. The Zoning Ordinance would typically require a 25 foot
setback from this property line. Staff feels that the proposed building line
encroachment will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or
the general area. The Pleasant Valley Golf Course is located immediately
to the south and across Valley Club Circle from this residential property.
If the Board approves the building line variance, the applicant will have to
complete a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the front 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 variance to allow the building line
encroachment, subject to completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the
change in the front building as approved by the Board.
