Craig Custom Construction, LLC
45 Wellington Colony Drive
Lot 14, Block 13, The Villages of Wellington
R-2
A variance is requested from the building
line provisions of Section 31-12 to allow
construction of a landing and stairs which
cross a platted building line.
The applicants' justification is presented
in an attached letter.
Single Family Residence under
construction
Single Family. Residential
The R-2 zoned property at 45 Wellington Colony Drive is occupied by a
single family residence which is under construction (foundation). There is
a driveway along the east property line which serves as access. The
property is located 6 to 7 feet above the grade of Wellington Colony Drive.
The front porch of the residence will be located within one (1) foot of the
front 20 foot platted building line.
The applicant proposes to construct an uncovered, unenclosed landing at
the center of the porch structure, with steps extending to the side. The
landing/stair structure will extend four (4) feet across the platted building

line, resulting in a 16 foot setback from the front property line. The
landing will be located 5 to 6 feet above the finished grade of the lot.
Section 31-12(c) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires that
variances for encroachments across platted building lines be reviewed
and approved by the Board of Adjustment. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a variance to allow the encroachment.
Staff is supportive of the variance request. Staff views the request as very
minor in nature. The landing/stair structure is relatively small, and will be
uncovered and unenclosed. Therefore, staff feels that the proposed front
setback for the landing/stair structure is reasonable, and will have no
adverse impact on the surrounding properties or the general area.
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 landing/stair structure. 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 requested variances, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the front platted
building line as approved by the Board.
2. The landing/stair structure must remain uncovered and unenclosed.
