Title
GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW A SEVEN (7) FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK RATHER THAN A TEN (10) FOOT SETBACK FOR A 660 SQUARE FOOT ENCLOSED SPORT COURT ADDITION TO THE HOUSE. LOCATED AT 2943 122ND COURT NE. TJB HOMES, INC. (CASE FILE NO. 17-0010/SLK)
Schedule of Actions
City Council (CUP Amendment) |
04/20/17 |
Background
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment to allow a 7 foot side yard setback for the construction of 660 square foot sport court addition to the house. The current side yard setback that was established with the Lakes Development in 2003 for a home/living space is 10 feet.
The applicant would like to extend the wall for the home on the same side as the existing garage (northwest side of the home) to include a sport court. However, living space (interpreted as any part of the house that is not garage) must meet the current setback of 10 feet and the garage wall is at a 5 foot setback at the front of the lot and increases to a 7 foot setback in the rear of the garage. The construction of the sport court would meet a minimum 7 foot side yard setback where it meets the garage and would, because of the angle, be set at 9.72 feet from the side yard at the rear line of the addition.
The proposed addition must match architecturally with the existing house and attached garage. The plans that have been provided indicate that the structure will match the exterior materials and architecture of the existing home.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
