Commission approves 5-foot front-setback variance for Parlin Court cul-de-sac lot
Loading...
Summary
Bryan planners approved PV2602 to reduce the front setback from 20 to 15 feet for a cul-de-sac lot at 1900 Parlin Court, citing lot geometry; staff said the design fits the subdivision pattern and the motion passed unanimously.
The Bryan Planning and Zoning Commission voted on April 2 to approve planning variance PV2602, allowing a 5-foot reduction in the front building setback (from 20 feet to 15 feet) for Lot 2, Block 1 of the Pagosa Springs Subdivision (1900 Parlin Court).
Staff planner Miss Jackson said the lot’s cul-de-sac geometry materially limits placement of standard floor plans and that the requested variance allows a buildable footprint while maintaining the character of the subdivision. The parcel is about 0.252 acres and was platted recently; staff recommended approval.
Neighbor Adriana Ramos asked about privacy and potential traffic increases; applicant Jeff Wright, representing the home builder, said the development will include 6-foot cedar privacy fences around rear yards and that driveways will be rear-loaded to minimize front-yard vehicle access. He told the commission the house footprint would remain within the adjusted build line and would not encroach on utility easements.
Commissioners discussed the specifics of the site plan and noted that walkways crossing the front setback are permitted; a motion to approve the variance and adopt the staff report carried unanimously.
