STAFF REPORT
Felix Jones Jr. has applied for a variance to the minimum front yard
building setback from 15' to 13.3'. The property is located at 4680
Prairie.
Mr. Jones states that he is in the process of refinancing his home loan
and the title company required a survey to close the loan. At that
time, it was discovered that the house encroached into the front yard
building setback 1.9'.
According to building permit records, the house was completed in
July, 2008. Those records show that no foundation inspection was
asked for during construction. Therefore, the City made no
inspections. Normal procedure is for the building contractor to
contact the City for inspections at the various stages of construction..
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
