Request
A request for a 1 foot variance from the minimum 5 foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a new home 4 feet from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 819 East Drexel Avenue approximately 215 feet east of Nopal Street. This is an older neighborhood and many of the homes in the area have large trees and a side setback of three feet, as opposed to the current requirement of five feet. The applicant is in the process of building a new home on a previously vacant lot. A heritage tree is located on the vacant lot, but, due to updated setback requirements, is located within the 5 foot setback. The applicant wishes to reduce the setback in order to preserve an irreplaceable pecan tree. The applicant was cited by code for placing the home too close to the property line.
