27 Valley Estates Drive
Lot 26, Pleasant Valley Estates Addition
IWA
A variance is requested from the area provisions of Section
36-254 to allow a porch addition with reduced rear setback.
The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter.
Single Family Residential
Single Family Residential
The R-2 zoned property located at 27 Valley Estates Drive is occupied by a two-'
story single family residence. The property is located near the north end of Valley
Estates Drive, north of Hinson Road. A two -car wide driveway from Valley Estates
Drive is located at the southwest corner of the lot. The lot contains a 36.5 foot front
platted building line.
The applicant proposes to construct a covered porch over a portion of an existing
patio area within the rear yard area, as noted on the attached site plan. The
proposed patio cover will be approximately 17 feet by 21.5 feet in area. The
proposed addition will be located approximately 16 feet to 26.5 feet back from the
rear (east) property line. The proposed patio cover will be unenclosed on its north,
south and east sides.
Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear
setback of 25 feet. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a
reduced rear setback for the proposed covered patio addition.

ITEM NO.: 8 (CON71 Z-944
Staff is supportive of the requested rear setback variance, as filed. Staff views the
request as reasonable. The lot has a relatively narrow width at the front property
line and a 36.5 foot front platted building line. Therefore, the majority of the single-
family structure is located over 60 feet back from the front property line, which
reduces the amount of buildable rear yard area. Only approximately 100 square feet
of the proposed covered patio will be located within the 25 foot rear setback area.
Staff believes the proposed covered patio with reduced rear setback will have no
adverse impact on the surrounding properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear setback variance, subject to the
covered patio area remaining unenclosed on its north, south and east sides.
