Aye: Cathy Slagle, Frank Lamia, Ryan Baker, and David Martin.
Nay: None.
Abstain: Donna Cook
BOA 22.13 Public hearing to consider the request of the Applicant, Brittney Pronesti
with Frameworx, acting on behalf of the Owner, Tyler Niemeyer, for a 15’ variance to the
street side setback requirements for property zoned R-2, Medium Density Single-Family
Residential District. The property is approximately 0.31 acres and is located at 508 Patlynn
Drive. PPIN #: 56337
Casey Potts, City Planner, presented the case summary, showing a map and aerial of the
property.
The applicant, Tyler Preston Niemeyer, is requesting a 15’ variance to the street side setback
located at the southeast corner of Patlynn Drive and Allison Court. The property is zoned R-2
Medium Density Single-Family Residential District. The recorded plat reflects a 35’ side street
setback, which is more stringent than the 20’ side street setback requirement in the Zoning
Ordinance. This discrepancy is the reason the applicant is requesting a 15’ side street setback
variance.
The subject property is Lot 6 of Unit One, Replat of The Pines Subdivision as recorded in 1977
on Slide 883-A. The plat depicts a 35’ front setback along all rights-of-way. The plat has twelve
lots that depict these setbacks on two frontages. However, there are existing structures that do
not comply with the 35’ platted side street setback. There are six out of the twelve properties that
only comply with the 20’ Zoning Ordinance requirement.
There is a discrepancy between the two surveys. The existing 2013 survey showed that the
carport was 20.3’ from the property line. In the documentation that was provided by the
Applicant, the 20’ setback is shown in a different location in relation to the carport. The 20’

building setback line is being discussed and that is what they would be held to for any
construction on site.
The variance request of 15’ is compliant with the Street Side Setback requirements shown in
Table 3-2 in the City of Fairhope’s Zoning Ordinance.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of BOA 22.13, 508 Patlynn Drive, a request for a 15’ variance to the
street side setback requirements.
Frank Lamia asked what kind of addition the Applicant is proposing. Mr. Simmons replied that
the Applicant is proposing to add an enclosed portion to the house, but is leaving the carport
open, which leaves an odd space with the covered porch. No clarification has been given for that
space and no elevations or architectural details were provided. The variance runs with the land,
not the design or the plan. If no precedent had been created in this neighborhood, staff would
have given a recommendation to deny as the platted setback is 35’. The plat was recorded in
1977 prior to the current form of the Zoning Ordinance. There is no record of a variance being
granted for this property, he is not sure how the carport being closer to the street than the house
with a 20’ setback was allowed without a variance. This addition would bring the house in line
with the carport.
Ryan Baker asked if any of the other six properties received variances. Mr. Simmons stated that
the records between 1977-1999 are mixed up, but that no other variances were found on the other
properties in the files that are digitized.
Frank Lamia asked if there had been any objection from neighbors, Mr. Simmons replied that
there had not been any comments received.
Ryan Baker asked if the property did not have the 35’ setback, what side would the front be
considered as. Mr. Simmons stated that based on dimensions, the frontage is on Patlynn, the
narrowest side of the lot.
The Applicant was not present to speak, thus, Cathy Slagle opened the public hearing. Having no
one present to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion:
Donna Cook made a motion to approve Case BOA 22.13 for a 15’ variance to the street
side setback requirements, resulting in a 20’ street side setback.
Frank Lamia seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously with the following
vote:
Aye: Cathy Slagle, Frank Lamia, Ryan Baker, and Donna Cook.
Nay: None.
Mr. Simmons added that a revised site plan that matches the 20’ setback is needed at time
of permit.

1 BOA 22.14 110 Blakeney Ave
November 21, 2022
Summary of Request:
The applicant is requesting a building setback line variance to the lot at 110 Blakeney Avenue,
located along Blakeney Avenue approximately 200 feet west of the intersection with North
Summit Street. The subject property is located within an R‐2 medium density single family
zoning district, which requires 35’ front and rear setbacks, 10’ side setbacks, and 20’ street side
setbacks.
The survey provided indicated that the property to the west (108 Blakeney Ave) is 30.1’ from
the property line and the property to the east (112 Blakeney Avenue) is 35.5’ from the property
line.
The Zoning Ordinance Article VII Section D.3 contemplates front setback relief of non‐
conforming lots. Staff granted an administrative variance of 2.2’, resulting in a front setback for
the property of 32.8’. The administrative variance is calculated from the average of adjacent
property frontages. As such, the applicant is currently requesting a 2.8’ front street setback
variance to have a 30’ front setback.
The applicant has stated that the intent behind the variance is to preserve the bay view that the
existing home has. Staff does not support view‐preservation as justification for a variance.
Analysis and Recommendation:
Variance Criteria:
(a) There are extraordinary and exceptional conditions pertaining to the particular piece of
property in question because of its size, shape, or topography.
Response:
Although the lot width of approximately 62’ does not meet the dimension standards of the R‐2
Zoning District, lot size is not an extraordinary or exceptional condition pertaining to this piece
of property. Substandard R‐2 lots are very common within the City of Fairhope. Also, front
setback relief was already provided to the substandard lot through the administrative variance
process.

The shape of the lot is rectangular. There are no inherent challenges due to shape.
There is a total of five feet of topography change over the subject property. The subject
property is 145 feet deep and at a 3% grade. Topography is not an extraordinary or exceptional
condition with this piece of property.
(b) The application of the ordinance to this particular piece of property would create an
unnecessary hardship. Personal financial hardship is not a justification for a variance.
Response:
Application of the ordinance to this particular piece of property would not create an
unnecessary hardship. Change in value of property, whether literal or theoretical, is not
considered a hardship.
(c) Such conditions are peculiar to the particular piece of property involved.
Response:
There are no peculiar characteristics inherent to this piece of property.
(d) Relief, if granted, would not cause substantial detriment to the public good and impair the
purpose and intent of this ordinance; provided however, that no variance may be granted for
a use of land or building or structure that is prohibited by this ordinance.
Response:
There would be no substantial detriment to the public good or impairment of the intent of the
Zoning Ordinance by denying the 2.8’ front setback variance request.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends DENIAL of the front setback variance request.

The applicant is requesting a 2.8’ variance from the front yard setback requirements of 32.8’ in the City of
Fairhope Zoning Ordinance Article VII, Section B Para. D in order to maintain a view of Mobile Bay and
Bluff Park for a new principal structure. In essence, the applicant wishes to keep his current front setback
of ~30’, which has been in place since at least 1955.
According to Fairhope Zoning Ordinance Article III, Section C.1 Table 3-2, the minimum lot area for the
subject property is an existing non-conformity. The minimum for R-2 is 10,500s.f. and the subject
property is approximately 8804s.f., roughly 84% of what is required by the current zoning ordinance. In
addition, the lot width is 62’ which is 13’ short of the conforming lot width of 75’. The Table requires a
minimum front setback of 35’ for conforming lots.
Article VII, Section B Para. D. “Non-conforming Lots” provides for modification of yard requirements
subject to the following condition:
“3. The minimum front setback required for the district (and, on corner lots, the street side setback)
shall not apply to any lot where the average front building line(s) of the adjacent lot(s), is less than
the minimum setback required for the district. In such cases, the front building line may be the
same as the average front building line(s) of the adjacent lot(s). In no case, shall the front building
line be more than 5’ less than the minimum setback required for the district.”
A survey of the adjacent lots indicates front building lines located at 30.1’ and 35.5’, respectively. The
average front building line is, therefore, 32.8’. Relief, if granted, would not cause any detriment to the
public nor impair the intent of this ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance grants relief based on a particular
piece of property having exceptional conditions.
The applicant’s proposal presents no change to the setback already in place. In fact it maintains
alignment of the new structure front building line with the adjacent structure to the west. It should be
noted that the adjacent structure to the east has no direct view of the Bay at present and, in fact, has an 8
foot tall fence extending forward of their front building line, thus preventing any view of the Bay from
that residence.
Lot is non‐conforming as the existing structure (circa 1955) is sited with a front setback of 29.8' and not
the 35' since required by Ordinance. Newer, adjacent structure at 108 Blakeney Avenue to the West is
also non‐conforming at 30' front setback. Also, newer, adjacent structure at 112 Blakeney Avenue to
the East is sited with a front setback of 35'.
Requestor seeks to preserve existing setback with new 2‐story structure in order to retain desirable
views of Mobile Bay and associated property value. Requestor will lose its view of Mobile Bay if deeper
setback is enforced.

Requestor intends to raze the existing structure at 110 Blakeney Avenue to build a new 2‐story home
and optimize the front building line at a setback of 30’. This will conserve the existing desirable view of
Mobile Bay and Bluff Park to the West.
Zoning Ordinance 1253 Article VII, Section B, Para D. "Non‐conforming Lots" allows modified Yard
requirements to meet an average front setback between the adjacent structures. That average is
(35.5+30.1)/2 = 32.8'.
Therefore, Requestor is seeking a Variance to the average front setback of 2.8' to retain its view to the
west and the associated property value.
Approval of this Request will not impose any hardship upon adjacent neighbors, as there is to be no
change to the present setback of the existing structure.
