PD 118 was approved by City Council in 1991 for single family
homes with a minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet and a
minimum house size of 2,000 square feet. This development
included the extension of Riverchase Drive to provide access to this
subdivision. In 1992 a final plat for 160 single family lots was
approved.
TRANSPORTATION:
Riverchase Drive is a four lane undivided thoroughfare built within
a 70 foot right-of-way.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
single family development.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is a corner lot in the Riverchase Estates subdivision,
with the home fronting on Stonecrest Drive. The applicant desires to
construct a pool in the yard adjacent to Old York Drive.
The existing SF-9 regulations typically require a 25-foot from yard and
15-foot side yard, when adjacent to a street. However, when this lot was
platted, it was platted with two from yards, per the provision of Section
32-2 of the Zoning Ordinance which states, "On comer lots, the from yard
setback shall be observed along the frontage of both intersecting streets
(unless shown specifically otherwise on a final plat)."
Within this subdivision, the subject property is the only corner lot which
was platted with two front yards. The approved plat also includes a typical
illustration of comer lots, with 15-foot side yard.
In 1994 a fence permit was issued which reflected the fence along Old
York Road to be located at the property line. However, there was a note
on the application that the fence needed to be setback the required 25 feet.
The wood fence with brick columns was constructed per the illustration
attached to the building permit, which was along this property line.
Therefore, to allow for the construction of the pool and the retention of the
fence, the yard along Old York Road needs to be designated on the plat as
a side yard.
In summary, given that: this is the only lot in this subdivision with two
front yards; the ordinance allows for a designation of a side yard via a
plat; the fence has akeady been in existence for some time and there have
been no complaint regarding the location of the fence; and a pool in this
location will have no visual impact on the existing neighborhood, staff is
recommending approval of this request.
