B. Staff Analysis:
The R-3 zoned property at 620 N. Filmore Street is occupied by a one-
story frame and rock single-family residence. There is a one -car
driveway from "F" street which serves as access. There is an alley
located along the west property line.
The applicant proposes to construct two (2) small building additions
near the southwest corner of the existing home, along the south side
property line. The additions are 1.5 feet by 3.6 feet and 6 feet by 8 feet,
for 53.4 square feet of additional floor space. The additions will
maintain the same 2.5 foot side yard setback as the existing structure.
Section 36-255(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a
minimum side yard setback of 4.5 feet for this R-3 zoned lot. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a variance for the reduced side yard setback
(south side) associated with the proposed building additions.

ITEM NO.: 7
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the variance
as very minor in nature. The applicant proposes to add only 7.5 feet of
building addition along the south side property line. This represents a
very small amount of the overall 140 foot lot depth. The residential
structure on the lot immediately to the south is located 6 to 7 feet back
from the dividing side property line. Staff feels that the proposed
building additions will have no adverse impact on the adjacent property
or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback
variance, as filed.
