STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Issues
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 1812 N. Monroe Street is occupied by a one-story
brick and rock single family residence. There is a one -car wide driveway from
N. Monroe Street which serves as access. A one-story frame garage structure
is located at the southwest corner of the property.
The applicant proposes to construct a building addition (approximately 10 feet
by 35 feet) at the northeast corner of the home. The addition will be one-story
in height with a finished attic space. The addition will be located four (4) feet
from the side (north) property line and approximately 34 feet from the front
(east) property line, behind a 30 foot front platted building line.
Section 36-254(d)(2) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum side
setback of six (6) feet for this R-2 zoned lot. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting a variance for the proposed room addition.
NOVEMBER 29, 2004
ITEM NO.: 3 CON'T.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff feels that the request is
reasonable, and that the proposed side setback will not be out of character
with the neighborhood. The existing residential structure to the north is located
10 to 12 feet back from the dividing side property line, with a driveway along
the south side of that structure. Therefore, staff feels that the proposed
building addition will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the
general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested setback variance, as filed.
