A. V25-052 Public Hearing - Variance Request - V25-052 - Allow encroachment into the City's 50-
foot undisturbed stream buffer - Land Lot 527 - 1241 Kingsview Drive - Davin Harris
Ward 6 Mayor Pro Tem / Councilmember - Tim Gould
Caitlin Crowe, Planner I, provided the following background:
The subject parcel is a 0.65-acre lot located at the northern intersection of Kingsview
Drive and Kingsview Circle (see Figure 1). The subject parcel and all adjacent parcels are
zoned R-15 and are occupied by single-family detached homes. The subject parcel is
located within the Kingsview Subdivision, which was platted in 1965, prior to the Smyrna
Stream Buffer Ordinance, which was implemented in 2005.
The applicant is proposing to build a two-story 5,295 square foot single-family home with
accompanying in-ground swimming pool on the subject property, which has historically
been a vacant lot. The new home will include four bedrooms and five bathrooms with a
mixture of horizontal and vertical hardiplank. The subject property is greatly impacted by
the State’s 25- foot stream buffer, City’s 50-foot undisturbed buffer, and the City’s 75-foot
impervious surface setback due to a creek that runs along the middle of the property. The
