Request
A request for a ten foot variance from the minimum 20 foot rear yard setback, as described in Table 35-310-1, to allow a 10 foot rear yard setback on two lots.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in what had been a paper subdivision originally recorded in 1950. A paper subdivision is one where the plat has been recorded but the street and utilities were never constructed and therefore, the lots were unbuildable. The original plat was a typical grid subdivision, but an apartment project was built blocking several of the streets potential future connection with Lockhill Selma. In 2014, the applicant petitioned the City Council to vacate portions of the platted, but unimproved, streets to facilitate the addition of 72 new single-family homes in the area. Fair market value was paid for this property. A recent amending plat rearranged the street layout to address the more recent development patterns around the vacant land. Most of the lots were platted with 110 feet minimum depth, but a couple of the lots were platted with only 90 feet in depth. The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the rear yard setback for these two lots.
