Title
Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on the Request by Applicant/Owner Kaitlin McCoy, for consideration of a Variance request to allow a 15' rear yard setback to the zoning ordinance requirement of 20' rear setback for the property located at 109 S. Graves Street, Lots 3A and 4B Block 6 of the Benge Addition, an addition to the City of McKinney, Texas.
Summary
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT CASE NUMBER: BOA21-03
MEETING DATE: May 26, 2021
DEPARTMENT: Development Services - Building Inspections
CONTACT: Jeffrey Harris, Chief Plans Examiner
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Consider this variance request based on the applicant statement on the Board of Adjustment (BOA) application.
ZONING: RS-60 with Traditional McKinney Neighborhood (TMN) overlay designation.
EXISTING CONDITIONS: This is a non-conforming corner lot, per depth of lot less than 100'. There are also two existing trophy trees in the rear yard.
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant/owner desires to construct an addition in the rear yard of the single-family home on this existing lot, yet due to some lot non-conformity concerns, and the presence of two trophy trees, a variance is requested for consideration by the Board. The placement of the structure meets the front setback of 20' but the rear setback of 20' restricts the placement of the structure, thus a request for 15' rear setback.
A GIS rendering of the surrounding lots is provided and shows the varied setbacks. The input of the 200' property owners should be reviewed to determine if such variance will not seriously affect the adjoining property or the general welfare.
