Summary
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT CASE NUMBER: BOA 20-08
MEETING DATE: November 11, 2020
DEPARTMENT: Development Services - Building Inspections
CONTACT: Rick Herzberger, Chief Building Official
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Consider this variance request based on the applicant statement on the BOA application and the following information.
ZONING: RS-60 Single Family Residence with the TMN (Traditional McKinney Neighborhood District) overlay to allow for base reduction in setbacks, lot width / depth and lot size regulations.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: This is a non-conforming lot that was recently amended (PLAT2020-0065) to remove two lots of record and establish one lot so the lot could be developed conditioned upon a variance consideration by the Board of Adjustment.
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant/owner is seeking a rear yard variance to allow a 1600 square foot house to be built on this nonconforming lot. The original lot of record showed 2 lots on the tract that would not allow any house to be built without crossing property lines, which is not allowed by subdivision regulations and the building codes. The owner was advised to amend the plat to create one lot yet due to the lot facing Gough Street, even though the amended plat still showed a lot depth of 54 feet (zoning regulation requires a lot depth of 90 feet). The amended plat and requested rear setback variance of 8 feet is the only possible way to develop this property.
