1619 N. Tyler Street
Lot 17, Block 3, Englewood Addition
R-2
A variance is requested from the area
provisions of Section 36-156 to allow
accessory structures which exceed the
maximum rear yard coverage allowed.
The applicant's justification is presented
in an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 1619 N. Tyler Street is occupied by a one-story
frame single family residence. There is a one -car driveway from N. Tyler
Street which serves as access. There is a metal carport structure and a
small storage building in the rear yard, at the northeast corner of the
residence. There is an alley right-of-way along the east property line.
The applicant proposes to remove the carport structure from the property
and move the 8 foot by 12 foot storage building to the southeast corner
of the property. The applicant also proposes to construct a 24 foot by
24 foot garage (one-story) at the northeast corner of the property and a
13 foot by 16 foot in -ground pool within the rear yard. The garage and
storage building will be located three (3) feet from side and rear property

lines, with the pool being located approximately 8.5 feet from the south
side property line. The applicant also proposes to construct a master
bedroom/bath addition on the east side of the residence.
Section 36-156(a)(2)c. of the City's Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum
30 percent rear yard coverage (rear 25 feet) for accessory buildings. The
proposed accessory buildings will occupy approximately 49 percent of the
required rear yard. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance from
this ordinance standard. The accessory structures as well as the proposed
building addition comply with the minimum setback requirements.
Staff is supportive of the variance request. Staff feels that the proposed
rear yard coverage will not be out -of -character with the general area.
There are several properties in this area which have relatively large
accessory buildings and rear yard coverage exceeding ordinance
standards. Staff feels that the proposed accessory structures will have no
adverse impact on the adjacent properties or general area.
C. Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard coverage, subject
to a building permit being obtained for all construction.
