PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF D.M. SHELTON
BUILDERS TO VARY FROM THE NRH ZONING ORDINANCE, NO. 1874;
SECTION 150 - SIDE YARD REQUIREMENTS AND SECTION 410.C - ;LOT
AND AREA REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE TO
ENCROACH THE SIDE BUILDING LINE. THE PROPERTY IS KNOWN AS
LOT 18, BLOCK 10, OAK HILLS ADDITION AND IS LOCATED AT 7224
SPRING OAK DRIVE.
APPROVED
D. M. Shelton Builders is requesting a variance to allow the newly constructed
residential structure at 7224 Spring Oak Drive to encroach the side building line.
The encroachment is approximately four feet, creating a side yard setback of
approximately two feet. A six-foot setback is required.
The encroachment is the result of an erroneous survey that was performed on
the neighboring parcel at 7220 Spring Oak Drive. Because of the mistaken
survey, the structures at 7220 and 7224 Spring Oak Drive were built too close to
the respective real southern property line. The residence at 7220 did not seek a
variance because they amended the plat to move the property line. Amending
the plat to move property lines is not an option in this case because the adjacent
parcel is under different ownership.
Mr. Johnson explained that staff has found a special condition in that the
contractor and City staff had no reason to believe the side building line was
different than what was shown on the survey. The house was constructed with
good faith of all parties that it complied with the required setback. Because the
property to the south was also constructed in the side setback, adequate
separation exists between the two structures.
Staff recommends approval of the requested variances to Sections 150 - Side
Yard Regulations & 41 O.C - Lot & Area Requirements, allowing the newly
constructed residence to encroach the side building line by approximately 4 feet.
Chairman Duer opened the public hearing and asked the applicant forward.
Mr. DeWayne Shelton presented this request.
Seeing no proponents and no opponents, the hearing was closed.
Mr. Bacon, seconded by Ms. Jauregui, moved to approve BA 2000-04 as
requested since the contractor and City staff had no reason to believe the side
building line was different than what was shown on the survey. The motion
carried unanimously.
