HomeMy WebLinkAboutS-0065-PP Staff AnalysisFILE NO.: S-65-00 NAME: St. Charles Addition - Building Line Variance LOCATION: St. Charles Subdivision off of Napa Valley Road, west quadrant of the plat DEVELOPER: WINROCK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY 2101 Brookwood Drive Suite 100 Little Rock, AR 72203 663-5340 REOI7EST . This applicant files this application for a building line variance for purposes of creating a more buildable lot size around the cul-de-sac at the end of this street. Several of the lots in the area of this cul-de-sac have unique boundaries with compound turns on the sides and rear. This creates a problem with respect to buildability on the lot for a house. STAFF COMMENT/RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this proposal and agrees with the developer that these lots are somewhat shallow and have erratic property lines, which warrant the reduction of the building line to 15 feet. They will maintain the minimum side yard spacing. Planning staff has recommended to the engineer on the project that the building lines not be parallel to the arc of the cul-de-sac right-of-way, but placed in a straight line across the lots with the nearer point to the street being 15 feet. This will provide a better alignment for placement of the front of the structure and for location by the building contractor. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (JANUARY 7, 1993) Mr. Ron Tyne and Mr. Joe White were present representing this request. There was a brief discussion of the issues. The developer indicated that he could make the adjustment on the plan. Mr. White indicated that it would be no problem to have a straight building setback line on these lots, and that he would provide a revised drawing. After a brief discussion, the Committee forwarded this item to the full Commission for resolution. FILE NO.: S-65-00 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 26, 1993) The staff presented its recommendation of approval stating there were no continuing issues associated with this request.
