Request
A request for the elimination of the required five foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an existing carport to remain on the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 251 Paramount Avenue approximately 50 feet east of NW 34th Street. The applicant is seeking variance to allow an existing carport to remain along the side property line. The carport is made, primarily, of wood with some metal elements. As such, the carport poses a fire risk to adjacent properties which are located very near the structure. Additionally, wood carports require maintenance more frequently than metal carports, and, being located on the property line, may require trespass to maintain.
