Request
A request for 1) a 10 foot variance from the 15 foot platted side setback, as described in Table 35-310.01, to allow a 5 foot side setback and 2) a nine foot variance from the 20 foot rear setback, as described in Table 35-310.01, to allow a carport with an eleven foot rear setback.
Executive Summary
The applicant is seeking a variance from both the rear and side setbacks to allow for the construction of a carport. The property sits on a corner lot in the Kingsborough Ridge Subdivision, and includes a 15 foot platted side setback. The property also abuts a 16 foot wide alley along the rear property line. The owner wishes to construct a carport in the southwest corner of the lot. If constructed, the carport will encroach into the 15 foot platted side setback by five feet. The carport will also be three feet from the rear property; however, the required rear setback for the "R-4" zoning district is 20 feet. Since there is a 16 foot alley in the rear, up to half the width of the alley, which in this case is eight feet, can be used towards the rear setback, effectively creating an eleven foot rear setback.
