B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 13818 Foxfield Lane is occupied by a one (1) story
brick, rock and frame single family residence which was recently constructed.
The property is located on the north side of Foxfield Lane, west of Woodlands
Trail. There is a two -car wide driveway at the southwest corner of the lot. The
lot contains a 25 foot rant platted building line.
After construction, the applicants had -an as -built survey done of the lot. The
survey revealed that a small portion of the house, at its southeast corner,
extends across the front platted building line by approximately 1.5 feet. The front
setback for this portion of the house ranges from approximately 23.5 to 24.5 feet.
The remainder of the front fagade of the house is located approximately 40 feet
back from the front (south) property line.
Sections 36-254(d)(1) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum front
setback of 25 feet. Section 31-12(c ) of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that
building line encroachments be reviewed and approved by the Board of

Adjustment. Therefore, the applicant is requesting variances from these
ordinance standards to allow the building addition with reduced front setback and
which crosses a front platted building line.
Staff is supportive of the requested front setback and building line variances.
Staff views the request as reasonable. The encroachment across the front
platted building line is very minimal. Only approximately 17 square feet of the
garage portion of the residence crosses the platted building line, with a front
setback of 23.5 to 24.5 feet. Given the minimal amount of encroachment across
the front platted building line, the house will not have the appearance of being out
of alignment with the other homes to the east and west. Staff believes the
residence with reduced front setback 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 front building line for
the residence. 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 setback and building line variances,
subject to completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the front platted
building line as approved by the Board.
