Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 20 Waterside Drive is occupied by a two-story
brick and frame single family residence which was recently constructed. The
property is located at the southwest corner of Waterside Drive and Ironwood Drive.
A two -car wide driveway is located near the northeast corner of the lot and serves a
garage at the front corner of the house. The lot contains a 25 foot platted building
line along the front (east) and street side (north) property lines. The house which
was recently constructed encroaches across the north street side platted building
line by approximately two (2) feet. The resulting setback from the north street side
property line ranges from 23.01 to 23.11 feet. The applicant notes that a mistake
was made when the footing was laid out, with the mistake not being realized until a
survey was completed after the residence was constructed. All other building
setbacks comply with ordinance standards.
Section 31.12(b) of the subdivision Ordinance requires that building line
encroachments be reviewed and approved by the Board of Adjustment. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a variance from this ordinance standard to allow the new
residence which crosses a street side platted building line.

ITEM NO.: 2 CON'T. Z-9365
Staff is supportive of the requested platted building line encroachment. Staff views
the request as reasonable. A mistake was made when the footings for the home
were laid out, resulting in a very minor encroachment (7.9 percent) across the street
side platted building line. The minor encroachment should 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 street side building line for the
new 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 building line variance, subject to the
completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the street side platted building
line as approved by the Board.
