Home My WebLink About519-BADATE: June 3, 2004 TO: Board of Adjustment FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for a variance to the minimum required front yard building setback from 15' to 6' 7" for a new residence. FILE: 519-BA STAFF REPORT Faust Engineering & Surveying, Inc., the applicant, is requesting a variance to the front yard building setback to allow the construction of a new residence at 4690 Glen Oaks Circle. The Board of Adjustment granted this property a 15'front yard building setback in March, 2004. However, the house layout as originally submitted for review by the Board of Adjustment had a dimensional error. The error was not detected until after the foundation had been placed on the lot. This request would adjust the building setback line to reflect the footprint of the building. The applicant states that the reason for the encroachment is the shape of the lot. The lot is basically triangular in shape. To be able to construct the proposed house on the property will require the encroachment. The applicant states that the property owner attempted to design a house that fits the lot but was unable to any satisfaction. The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary for the approval of a variance have been met. Exhibits are attached.

The legal description of the property is Lot I of Glen Oaks Addition. The request is for a reduction of the front building setback line from 15 feet to the setback shown on the plat. Attached is a completed Application and Letter addressing the three (3) conditions sited on the Variance Supplemental Application Form and Exhibit illustrating the conditions. Thank you for your consideration of this request. FOR THE FIRM, Richard F. aust., P.E. RECEIVED CITY 0- PLAN1v:-11qL I-, I .- 'J ,MAY. 14 2004 4690 Glen Oaks Beaumont, Texas Variance Supplemental Application Form The granting of this variance will not be contrary to the public interest. The variance will allow the property owner to construct a residence on the property which will insure that the property does not become overgrown with underbrush and the residence will control the drainage on the site. The residence will provide a much more attractive entrance into the subdivision. The house layout as originally submitted for review by this board had a dimensional error. The error was not detected until after the foundation had been placed on the lot. This request would adjust the building setback line to reflect the footprint of the building. ME1191 11 N N " It The property is an odd shaped lot (see attached sketch) and does not lend itself to a conventional block style home. The owner has attempted to design a structure to fit the lot; however, due to the shallowness of the property on its north line, the structure still overlaps the originally platted front setback line. The typical lot in the subdivision is 120 feet in depth and 60 feet in width. The depth of this lot is 109 ft. The variance is requested due to the narrowness of the property along the north line and the unusual shape of the property. CONDITION C The City of Beaumont Zoning Ordinance has provisions for reducing the front building line of residential lots in a cul-de-sac. This provision recognizes the challenges in placing a structure on a lot having unusual dimensions and reduced lot depth. This request is that this same consideration be granted to this property.
