Commission grants 5‑foot front‑setback variance at 113 Reno Vista Lane to avoid work near gas pipeline easement
Summary
The commission approved a variance reducing the front setback from 30 to 25 feet for 113 Reno Vista Lane after the applicant explained a natural gas pipeline easement at the rear of the lot; approval was conditional on correcting the recorded property owner name.
The planning commission approved a variance granting a 5‑foot reduction of the front yard setback at 113 Reno Vista Lane to allow a prototype home placement that avoids encroaching on a natural gas pipeline easement.
Applicant Scott Davis explained that a pipeline easement runs behind the lot and that adjusting the front setback would prevent additional work near the easement. Davis noted the property transfer that occurred after application and acknowledged that the recorded owner name in application documents needs correction; a commissioner moved to approve the variance contingent on updating the record to reflect the current owner.
Staff said they had coordinated with the pipeline operator (Kinder Morgan) on roadway clearance and prototype home siting; staff recommended allowing the reduced setback to accommodate the easement. The commission moved and approved the variance by roll call after the ownership language was clarified.
