following vote:
Aye: Anil Vira, Cathy Slagle, Donna Cook, Frank Lamia, and Michael Baugh.
Nay:None.
BOA 21.05 -Public hearing to consider the request of Justin and Emily Chappell to
allow a front setback variance for an accessory structure located at 7275 Wild Oaks
Road. PPIN # 51895
Samara Walley, City Planner, presented the case summary:
The Applicants, Justin and Emily Chappell, are requesting a variance to the front yard
setback for an addition to the primary structure. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family
Residential, and the proposed addition would be a carport with additional storage space.
According to the Applicant, the current configuration prohibits adding additional
structures anywhere on the lot.
It should be noted that the Applicant previously submitted an application to allow a
detached accessory structure that would be situated closer to Clearwater Circle. The
Zoning Ordinance requires that detached accessory structures be situated no nearer than
the principle structure along side streets and behind the rear building line of the principle
structure. The original drawing was revised to indicate an addition. Therefore, the
primary structure setback is applicable. The submitted drawing is not to scale and does
not provide the rear setback line. The addition must meet the rear setback requirement.

Board of Adjustment Minutes
According to the recorded plat, there is a 3 5' setback requirement along Clearwater
Circle. The proposed addition would be 20' from Clearwater Circle. The property across
the street to the east has a 35' front setback as well, but the house appears to be situated
20' from the front property line on Clearwater Circle. Using this property as a precedent,
Staff can determine that the encroachment of the subject property would not change the
character of the neighborhood.
Staff recommends approval of BOA 21.05 subject to the following conditions:
1. The addition shall not encroach in the 35' rear setback requirement. All
setbacks shall be illustrated on any plans submitted for building permit.
2. Submission of revised application document stating that the addition is
attached.
Frank Lamia asked if the surrounding neighbors were notified of the variance request.
Hunter Simmons, Planning and Zoning Manager, stated that property owners within 325'
of the Chappell' s property were notified via mail. One letter of support was received and
no objections. Mr. Simmons also explained the difference between a variance and a
hardship.
The Applicant, Justin Chappell, was present, but no further comments were made. The
Board Members had no further questions.
Chairman Vira opened the public hearing, no one spoke, and the public hearing was
closed.
Motion:
Cathy Slagle made a motion to accept staffs recommendation of approval with
conditions:
1. The addition shall not encroach in the 35' rear setback requirement. All setbacks
shall be illustrated on any plans submitted for building permit.
2. Submission ofrevised application document stating that the addition is attached.
