B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 8 Valley Club Circle is occupied by a two-story
frame single family residence. There is a circular driveway from Valley Club
Circle, with a portion of the drive extending along the north side of the house to
a garage on the north side of the structure. The property backs up to the
Pleasant Valley Country Club golf course.
The applicant proposes to enclose the existing garage space for additional
living space, and add new garage space at the northwest corner of the
residence, as noted on the attached site plan. The proposed garage addition
will be located 10.5 feet to 14 feet back from the rear (west) property line. The

garage addition will be two stories in height, with an area of 24 feet by 29.2
feet. The existing driveway along the north side of the house will be extended
to serve the proposed garage addition.
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear
setback of 25 feet for this R-2 zoned lot. Therefore, the applicant is requesting
a variance to allow the reduced rear setback for the proposed garage addition.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the request as
reasonable. The proposed addition backs up to the Pleasant Valley Country
Club golf course and will be more than 70 feet from the nearest adjacent
structure. The applicant submitted letters of approval from the Pleasant Valley
Property Owners' Association (dated March 24, 2006) and the Pleasant Valley
Country Club (dated April 11, 2006), which are attached for Board review.
Staff believes the proposed garage 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, subject to the
proposed garage addition being constructed to match the existing residence.
