STAFF REPORT
A. Public Works Issues:
No Comments
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 111 Weston Place is occupied by a two-story
single family residence which is under construction and nearing completion. The
property is located on the east side of Weston Place, south of Wellington Village
Road. The property is located within a curve of Weston Place, with a compound
front property line running along the west and south property boundaries. A 25 foot
platted building line is located along the compound frontage.
A new two-story residence is in the process of being constructed on the lot, as noted
on the attached site plan. The applicant proposes to construct a six (6) foot by 25
foot landing/step structure to the front of the residence. The landing/step portion of
the residence will cross the front platted building line by six (6) feet, resulting in a
front setback of 19 feet. The landing/step portion of the residence will be uncovered
and unenclosed.
Section 36-254(d)(1) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum front
setback of 25 feet. 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 variances from these ordinance standards to
allow the steps and landing portion of the new residence 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 requested front encroachment is for only a
small portion (150 square feet) of the overall residence. The landing/step portion
will remain uncovered and unenclosed. Because of the curvature of the street, the
residence will not have the appearance of being out of alignment with other adjacent
residences. Staff believes the proposed landing/step portion of the residence 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
addition. 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 the following conditions:
Completion of a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the front platted
building line as approved by the Board.
2. The landing/step portion of the residence must remain uncovered and
unenclosed.
