SUBJECT: Request for a variance to the minimum front yard setback from 25' to 22' to allow a new
front porch on an existing house
FILE: 518-BA
STAFF REPORT
James Stone is renovating a house at 2545 Pecos. Part of this renovation includes constructing
a new porch that encroaches into the 25'ftont yard building setback by 3'. Mr. Stone states that
the reason for the front porch is to make the house more compatible with other houses in the
historic district.
On May 10, 2004, the Historic Landmark Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness
for the construction of the front porch with a recommendation that the Board of Adjustment
approve the variance request. The Historic Landmark Commission felt that the addition would
be an improvement to the house and the historic district.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary
for approval of a variance have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
