David,
Attached is the document that you and Glen Hartmann provided me with during our meeting a couple
of months ago. My HOA has agreed to disregard the 50 foot set back given that the location of my
home will be out of the view plain of the neighbors behind me.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for your time!

Dear John:
It has been brought to our attention that there is a plat note
on the Final Plat of the Panorama Ranches subdivision, stating that
no structures are to be built any closer than 50 feet to a property
line. As far as we can tell in this office, the plat note is only
a reference to the protective covenants for the sitz ivision, which
are unenforceable by the County. This restriction conflicts with
the A/R/RD zone district setback requirements.
In the A/R/RD zone district, the following setback requirements are
enforced by the County:
Front yard: 25 ft. from the front lot line or 50 ft.
frau the street centerline, whichever is
greater.
Side yard: 10 ft. frau the side lot line, or 1/2 the
height of the principal building, whichever
is greater.
Rear yard: 25 ft. frau the rear lot line.
As it is presently, these requirements are less restrictive than the
protective covenants. As noted previously, the County does not enforce
protective covenants; that is up to the Homeowner's Association.
Since the protective covenants are more restrictive, a person or group
of persons owning property in the subdivision could bring civil action
against any homeowner violating the covenants. This may be an issue
you would want to discuss with the Homeowner's Association, given the
potential problems.
Please consider this letter to be informational in nature. If you have
any further questions or concerns about this issue, please feel free to
call or write this office at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Mark L. Bean
