STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Comments
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned lot at 110 Vigne Drive is currently undeveloped and tree
covered. The lot is relatively flat. The property backs up to the Chenal
Country Club facilities (tennis courts and parking area).
The applicant proposes to construct a two-story stucco and frame single family
residence on the property, as noted on the attached site plan. As part of the
new construction, the applicant proposes to construct a 17 foot by 17 foot
pavilion covering a portion of the patio adjacent to a pool. The pavilion will be
attached to the home and be unenclosed. The pavilion will be located
approximately three (3) feet from the rear (west) property line.

ITEM NO.: 3 (CON'T.)
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum 25
foot rear setback for R-2 zoned property. The approved plat for this
subdivision included a variance to allow 20 foot rear setbacks. Therefore, the
applicant is requesting a variance from this ordinance standard to allow the
pavjlion addition with a reduced rear setback.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff feels the request is
reasonable, based on the fact that the lot backs up to a 15 foot wide open
space tract (platted) and the Chenal Country Club facilities. Staff feels this
unenclosed structure will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or
the general area. The applicant has submitted a letter from the Chenal Valley
Architectual Control Committee approving the preliminary plans for the
proposed residential construction.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear setback variance, subject to
the pavilion addition remaining unenclosed on the north, south and west sides,
