D. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property at 44 Pine Manor Drive is located within the Pine Manor subdivision, which is west of North University off Evergreen Drive. The property is currently occupied
by a 2,441 square foot two story brick residence with an access drive connecting to Pine Mannor Drive to the west. The survey shows a lot width of 75 feet and depth of 127.8 feet with
a f-foot utility easement and retaining wall along the south perimeter of the property. The existing house on this property is set back 28 feet from the front property line, making
the available area in the rear yard limited.
The site plan indicates that the applicant is proposing additions to the south portion of the residence. The first addition will be 17.6 feet wide and extend south into the rear yard
24 feet. The second addition is proposed at the southwest corner of the residence for covered parking. This addition will be 21.6 feet wide and extend into the rear yard 11 feet.
The applicant is requesting to reduce the rear yard setback to not less than 10 feet.
Section 36-254(d)(3) states “There shall be a rear yard setback having a depth of not less than twenty-five (25) feet. Therefore the applicant requests a variance to allow the extension
of the primary structure 15 feet into the rearyard setback.
In Staff' s opinion, the existing conditions limit the useable area of the lot and the proposed addition will pose no negative effect upon the health, safety, or welfare of the public,
and will not detract from the value or aesthetic of the neighborhood or surrounding properties.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback reduction from twenty-five (25) feet to a minimum 10 feet from the rear property line, subject to the following conditions:
Obtain a building permit prior to construction
