Commission approves 5-foot front setback variance for cul-de-sac lot on Parlin Court
Summary
The commission approved planning variance PV2602 allowing a 15-foot front setback (instead of 20) for Lot 2, Block 1 in the Pagosa Springs subdivision, with staff citing the lot's irregular cul-de-sac shape as a unique condition that justifies the adjustment.
The Bryan Planning and Zoning Commission approved variance PV2602 April 2, allowing a 5-foot reduction in the front building setback (from 20 feet to 15 feet) for a detached dwelling on a cul-de-sac lot at 1900 Parlin Court.
Staff planner Miss Jackson said the lot is 0.252 acres and that the subdivision plat and lot geometry made the standard 20-foot setback impractical for typical floor plans. "Staff contends that this property is unique due to its lot configuration," Miss Jackson said, and recommended approval. Neighbor Adriana Ramos asked whether privacy fencing and traffic mitigation (speed control) would be provided; applicant Jeff Wright, representing the home builder, said individual lots would receive a six-foot cedar privacy fence along the back and that the model shown is preliminary. Commissioners described the request as a reasonable and common solution for cul-de-sac lots, and the motion to approve carried unanimously.
