BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered PZC 18-1-034 on May 16, 2018; no members of the public provided testimony on this case. The PZC voted to recommend approval of the case finding the lot to have a clear hardship (Approved, 8-0). Staff concurs.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is zoned R1A (Low Density Single Family Residence District) and is located west of Springdale Circle just south of Morning Start Court. The 10,875 square foot property is currently improved with a single-family residence. The property is bounded by Springdale Circle to the east, and Grasmere Road to the south.
The subject property is located in Brook Crossings Unit 1A subdivision. Upon review of the subdivision plat, staff noted that the road adjacent to the subject property, Grasmere Road, is dedicated City Right of Way (ROW). However, only a section of the road is dedicated, approximately 125'. The rest of the drive leading to the Middle School is not dedicated and serves as a private drive for the adjacent Gregory Middle School. Given that Grasmere Road is dedicated City ROW, the subject property is considered to be a corner lot, with Springdale Circle as the front property line and Grasmere Road as the corner side property line.
The owner and petitioner, Paul O'Neill, requests approval of a variance to allow for construction of a 6' tall solid style fence in the required 30' corner side yard. The proposed fence will be constructed along the western property line starting from the 30' building line moving south and will wrap around the southern property line (adjacent to Grasmere) moving east for approximately 60'...
