Analysis:
The property located at 1 Dover Drive is currently occupied by a single-story masonry single family residence. The residence is centrally located on the lot with an existing pool and
two accessory structures in the rear yard. There is a utility easement along the south (side) and east (rear) property lines.
The applicant is proposing to construct an addition to the northwest corner of the residence. The proposed addition would add eight (8) feet to the front face of the
residence and extend sixteen (16) feet along the north side of the residence. The addition will be 4.2 feet from the north side property line.
Section 36-254(d)(2) states “There shall be a side yard setback on each side of the building having a width of not less than ten (10) feet.” Therefore, the applicant is requesting a
variance to allow a reduction of the side yard setback to no more than 4.2 feet.
Staff finds the request to generally be in conformance with the development pattern in the area. Based on the above assessment and analysis, staff finds the request to be reasonable.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback to no more than 4.2 feet, subject to the following conditions:
Obtain a building permit prior to construction.
