:Re: Variance Application
Dear Sirs:
I am requesting a side yard setback variance from ten (10) feet to five (5) feet on
one side of a home that I built last year in Packard Estates.
During the course of construction, I built a dormer facing the west side yard, not
realizing that this might cause a problem with the setback on that side. By the time I
realized what had happened, it was completed. I met with the builder of the adjacent lot,
John Cotner of Cotner Building Co., and bought five feet of his lot. (Please see enclosed
check and purchase agreement.) I thought that this would cure the problem.
We both thought that the other was doing the lot line adjustment, when in fact,
neither one of us got it done. Upon finishing my home, I put in the landscaping, and
included my "new" five feet, complete with lawn and sprinklers.
Since that time, my home sold, and so did the Cotner home next door. The next
thing I know is that Cotner's homebuyer wants to put up a fence and discovers this five-
foot encroachment on her property and is suing my homebuyer over this. She isn't
willing to sell her "extra" five feet.
As you can see, I made an error that I am trying to get resolved and am asking
for your help in granting me a variance on the west side yard setback. Like I stated
earlier, it is only a bonus room dormer, not a solid, two-story wall.
It is my understanding that a certificate of occupancy was issued and a variance
granted last year on a similar situation in Packard Estates Lot 2 Block 1.
Your understanding and consideration is greatly appreciated. I have enclosed all
the pertinent information with this application.
Sincerely,
KW Homes
