Request
A request for 1) a 15' variance from the 20' rear setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an addition to be 5' from the rear property line and 2) a 4'1" variance from the 5' side setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an in-line addition to be 11" from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 308 South Mesquite Street, approximately 90 feet north of Kansas Street. The applicant intends to restore the home, which is approximately 550 square feet, to livable conditions while respecting the existing structure; they propose to extend 10' towards the rear property line to accommodate a 120 square foot addition consisting of one bathroom and a closet. The proposed addition would bring the total building area to 700 square feet. The applicant states that during 2005-2015, there was a previous addition by a previous owner in the same location as proposed, which was torn down in 2015. The proposed addition is still smaller than the previous addition, and will strictly maintain a 5' rear setback. 5' setbacks are no unheard of; they are permitted in the "IDZ" Infill Development Zone District.
