Item No. 6 - File No. 262
NAME:
James Stafford
Building Line Waiver
LOCATION: Northeast Corner of Yorkton
Drive at Duncan Drive
AREA: .17 acres NO. OF LOTS: 1 FT. OF NEW ST: 0'
ZONING: °R-2"
PROPOSED USES:
VARIANCE REQUESTED:
1. Modification of building line on Duncan Street side to
permit 10' more or less intrusion of a carport.
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
This site involves a residential structure on a corner
lot, located in what can be characterized as a very
well -kept neighborhood of single family homes. It is
bordered on the south and west by Duncan and
Yorkton Drives respectively. Bordering on the north
and east are other single family uses.
B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
This is a proposal, submitted by the applicant, for
permission to construct a carport (12' long and 24'
wide) to the southern end of the house. Plans include
enclosing the existing carport so that the living room
may be enlarged. The design of the driving entrance
and brick color on the enclosed portion will remain
similar to what now exists.
C. CONFORMANCE TO ORDINANCE
The plan is not in accordance with what is mandated by
the Subdivision Ordinance since it requires
modification of a 25' building line on the Duncan drive
side to permit a 10' intrusion, which will be created
by the construction of the carport addition.

Item No. 6 - File No. 262 - Continued
D. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Bill of Assurance must be amended and
property -owners in area notified. If approved, a final
plat indicating the modified building line is required.
E. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
None.
F. ANALYSIS
The applicant should indicate whether or not the
addition will have a flat canopy or gable type roof
extension. Regardless, staff is still reluctant to
endorse this request. We have not been convinced that
adequate justification has been submitted for the
modification of a building line; and as always, the
staff is skeptical of setting a precedent in an area
where the structures are generally in conformance.
G. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Denial as filed.
H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE ACTION
Mrs. Stafford was present. She reported that the
carport would resemble an extension of the house and
would have a gable -type roof.. Due to the fact that the
applicant's Bill of Assurance requires 80 percent of
property -owners in the Subdivision to sign before it is
amended, the Committee decided to pass the item to the
full Commission without a recommendation.
I. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Since the applicant was not present, a motion for a
30-day deferral was made and passed by a vote of
9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
