ZBA Meeting Date: August 3, 2004
Applicant: Mike Lane
Request: Variance to the rear setback
Location: 4742 Stonebriar Circle
Purpose: To allow the builder to construct a house on this lot.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Status of Applicant: Builder
Property Owner: Jana Schweitzer Lane
Applicable
Ordinance Section: Section 5.2 of the (Unified Development Ordinance), Residential
Dimensional Standards.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Subject Property: The following dimensions are from the submitted site plan.
60' of frontage along Stonebriar Circle
122.09' west (side property line)
60.26' north (rear property line)
127.69' east (side property line)
Access: The subject property will have access off Stonebriar Circle.
Topography &
Vegetation: Relatively flat with no trees
Flood Plain: N/A
VARIANCE INFORMATION
Special Conditions: The applicant has stated for the special condition: "A smaller
buildable area than what is seen on adjacent lots. This approval
allows this home to be built on the same size buildable area as
the home next door".
Hardships: The applicant has stated for a hardship: "The rear lot line being
square to the front yields an impractical buildable area as platted".
Alternatives: None were offered.
SPECIAL INFORMATION
Setback Required: A rear setback of 20 feet is required for R -1 Single
Family homes.
Setback Requested: A rear setback 19 feet to14 feet 4 inches
Case Overview: This case involves a lot that does not
have the buildable area as the neighboring lots due to
size and shape of the lot. The rear setback line
decreases the buildable area as the neighboring lots.
Thus the applicant is requesting a rear setback
variance 5 feet 8 inches.
Ordinance Intent: Building setback requirements usually allow for some degree of
control over population density, access to Tight and air, and fire
protection. These standards are typically justified on the basis of
the protection of property values.
