VARIANCE(S): Rear Yard Setback Variance at 3400 South Ridge Drive
Chairman Traylor opened the public hearing at approximately 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Bill Shelley stated that the cover for the patio would be done with a continuous roof. He related that he has hired a professional contractor to perform the work, explaining that
the final product would not look like an add-on but appear as if it were built when the house was originally constructed. He answered that the house is two years old so matching the
existing exterior shingles and siding would not be a problem. He explained that the patio area is not being closed in.
City Clerk Susan Davitt answered that there had been no opposition calls received during the advertisement period.
City Engineer Whisker added that nor had he received any opposition calls.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Traylor, City Engineer Whisker related that there is exactly 13’ from the addition to the rear property line.
Mr. Shelly explained that presently there is 25’ from the rear of the house to the property line, explaining that the roof cover would extend 12’ from the house. He stated that the
existing patio is 12’ X 22’.
City Engineer Whisker related that the patio has 3’ high half brick side walls, which the petitioner is proposing to place a roof over the existing patio. He explained that since the
roof structure would be attached to the home it would require a variance. He further explained the necessity of a variance given the possibility of future enclosure by a succeeding
property owner.
Mr. Shelley then explained that the roof would have the same roof line, same eves, and gutters. He added that the structure would feature four rear circular columns. He noted the extensive
expensive to have the extension done professionally.
Discussion ensued regarding the need for a 12’ rear yard variance to achieve the proposed construction plan. Other considerations were mentioned regarding additional space for the roof
eves.
