B. Staff Analvsis:
The R-2 zoned lot at 4817 Glen Valley Drive is currently undeveloped and
grass -covered. The property is located on the northeast corner of Glen Valley
Drive and Clancy Court. The lot is relatively flat. There is a subdivision sign
and rock planter at the southeast corner of the property. There is a 25 foot
platted front building line along the west property line and a 15 foot platted
street side building line along the southern boundary.
The applicant proposes to construct a one-story brick single family residence
on the property, as noted on the attached site plan. The residence will be
located behind the 25 foot front and 15 foot street side platted building lines,
with an 8.5 foot side setback from the north property line. The residence is
proposed to have a rear yard setback ranging from 20.26 feet to 24.98 feet
from the east (rear) property line. - I -

ITEM NO.: 4 (CON'T.
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 a rear setback ranging from 20.26 feet to 24.98 feet for the
proposed residence.
Staff is supportive of the requested rear setback variance. Staff views the
requested rear setback ranging from 20.26 to 24.98 feet as a relatively minor
issue. The applicant has noted that the variance is requested in order to
comply with the subdivision's Bill of Assurance minimum building area
requirements while attempting to construct a one (1) story structure.
Additionally, the front corner of the house immediately to the east is
approximately 10 feet from the rear property line of the lot in question.
Therefore, more than adequate separation will exist between the two (2)
houses. Staff believes the requested reduced rear yard setback will have no
adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback variance, as
filed.
