The above -referenced requests were apEroved by the City of Pan's Zoning 'oard of Adjustment
("Board") on 11/4/2024 by a vote of.—) es, nays and abstaining.

findings.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION & FINDINGS
Staffrecommends approval of the requested variances based upon the following staff findings of
fact:
1. The proposed lots are under Re -plat.
2. The variance requests are for four proposed lots. The existing configuration are lots 3 and
4. Block 8 of the Maxey Addition. Mr. Stephens proposes to replat the two lots into four
lots. The reason for the variance requests is because the platted Right -of -Way (ROW)
width for NW 16th Street was 40 feet wide. A five-foot ROW dedication is required on the
east side of Lot 4. If the ROW dedication had not been required, no variance request would
be needed. The original Maxey Addition plat was approved by the City of Paris with the

40 -foot ROW for NW 16 Street. The proposed home to be constructed on each of the four
lots will be less than 30 feet wide. The narrow -width proposed house meets all the other
zoning requirements.
3. Invariably, apart from the Zoning Ordinance 1710 Section 9-201. (1) that refers to lot
width, the proposed lots meet the minimum required length, front and side yards setback
per the code. The request, if approved will be in harmony with the general purposes and
intent of area regulations for residential buildings and lot regulations in Single -Family
Dwelling -(SF -3) District contained in and will protect the character of the immediate
vicinity of the area.
4. There are no special or unique condition(s) of restricted area, that exists on the subject
parcel of land that causes unusual and practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship in
compliance with the provisions sought here to be varied, other than the five foot ROW
dedication that was required on the east side of Lot 4 that has created lot width issue that
cannot be met, irrespectively.
5. The hardship sought to be avoided is not necessarily the result of (a) the applicant's own
actions (self-imposed. or self-created) due to the fact that the original Maxey Addition plat
was approved by the City of Paris that included a 40 -foot ROW width and that the plat was
approved by the City of Paris the minimum ROW width that was increased from 40 -feet to
50 feet and may cause (b) economic or financial "hardship" should the application be
denied.
6. The provision of the ordinance regulation that is sought to be varied, will deprive the
applicant of reasonable rights to use property that are commonly enjoyed by other
properties such as lot width variance in the Single -Family Dwelling (SF' -3) Zoning District
which are required to comply with these same ordinance provisions.
