Justification: Present Use of Property Proposed Use of Property: STAFF REPORT U Public Works Issues: No Comments. B. Staff Analysis: The applicants' justification is presented in 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, September 29, 2003 M NO.: 12 (Cont 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.
