impact the range of reasonable development options. In addition, the constraints are not <br />created by the applicant, the design is within the character of the neighborhood, and is the <br />minimum needed to afford relief while still building a customary home for the neighborhood. <br />In addition, when considering if a variance proposal is the minimum necessary variance and <br />if the property can be reasonably developed without variance (Criteria Nos. 3 and 6), staff's <br />analysis often considers if the applicant is making an improvement or building a home that <br />would be considered customary in size for the neighborhood and zone district. Because the <br />applicants' aren't trying to build and home larger than is customary in the neighborhood, and <br />are limited by constraints of the retaining wall, staff recommends reconsideration of the <br />variance request and approval. Staff's full analysis and recommendations follow. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The property is located in the Coal Creek Ranch Filing 3 Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br />and Coal Creek Ranch Filing 3 Replat A Subdivision (see Attachments 2 and 3), which were <br />approved by the City in 1990 and 1991 respectively. This property is also part of the Coal <br />Creek Ranch General Development Plan (GDP), which established the single-family <br />residential use. The following is a summary of the development standards based on the Coal <br />Creek Ranch Filing 3 PUD. Land area summaries for lots 96-140, which are part of the <br />replatted subdivision, are specified separately in the PUD: <br />Minimum Lot Area (Lots 96-140): 6,500 Sq. ft. <br />Maximum Lot Area (Lots 96-140): 21,500 Sq. ft. <br />Front Setback: 20 ft. for lots > 100ft. deep <br />Interior Side Setback: 5 ft. <br />Rear Setback: 20 ft. <br />Maximum Height: 35 ft. <br />Maximum Lot Coverage: None <br />The original house, built in 1993, was destroyed by the Marshall Fire in 2021. A tiered <br />retaining wall on the east and southern portions of the property was damaged as well. This <br />wall spanned the properties of 953 St Andrews and 357, 359, 360, 361, and 363 Troon <br />Court. The property owners have been working together to rebuild the wall, which will be <br />close to 17 ft. tall in portions abutting the property at 953 St Andrews (see Attachment 4). It <br />will be in the same location, however it will be a single wall versus a tiered wall. <br />953 St Andrews Ln - Variance Page 3 of 8 <br />BOA — JANUARY 17, 2024 <br />
