STAFF REPORT
Tommy Saleme & Rick Davenport have applied for a variance to the minimum rear yard setback
for the property at 3865 West Pointe Drive. The property is zoned RM-H (Residential Multiple
Family Dwelling - Highest Density) and therefore requires a 25 foot rear setback.
In 2007 a plat was filed for Pointe' Park, a cluster housing development. As the market quickly
changed, so did the demand for housing. In 2011 and 2013, several replats were filed creating
standard single family lots for the west half of the original subdivision. These new single family
lots vary in depth, some are 110 feet deep, some are 120 feet deep. The lots in question are 110
feet deep. Minimum lot depth for RM-H districts is 100 feet, so the minimum lot depth is not an
issue. At least one house has been built, to code, on one of the 110 foot deep lots.
Mr. Saleme has purchased two (2) of the 110 foot deep lots with plans to construct a new home
across the two (2) lots. He claims that the lot is not deep enough to construct the home he
desires. He would like to push the structure back on the lot to create a greater front setback,
allowing a 40 foot setback from the front property line as opposed to the minimum 25 foot front
yard setback. In doing so, he would need to reduce the rear yard setback from the required 25
feet to 12 feet.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary
for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
