B. Staff Analysis-
The
na[ sis:
The R-2 zoned property at 62 Epernay Circle is occupied by a two-story brick
single family residence which was recently constructed. The property is
located on the northeast corner of Epernay Circle and Epernay Place. There
is a three -car wide driveway from Epernay Place which serves the garage on
the south side of the residence. There is a 25 foot platted building line along
both street frontages (south and west property lines).
Because of a mistake that was made in locating the house on the property, the
structure has a slight encroachment across the 25 foot platted side building
line (south side of structure). The mistake was made because of a slight curve

in the south street side property line and platted building line which was not
compensated for. The new house crosses the south street side building line
by 0.8 foot to 2.5 feet, as noted on the attached site plan.
Section 31-12(c ) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires that
encroachments across platted building lines be reviewed and approved by the
Board of Adjustment. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to
allow the building line encroachment.
Staff supports the requested building line variance. Staff views the request as
very minor. Given the slight curvature in the Epernay Place right-of-way along
the south property line, the house has the appearance of aligning with the
residence immediately to the east. Staff believes the slight building line
encroachment will have no adverse impact on the adjacent 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 platted side building line
for the residential 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 Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line variance, associated
with the new residential structure, subject to the completion of a one -lot replat
reflecting the change in the side platted building line as approved by the
Board.
