Request
A request for 1) a four and a half foot variance from the five foot side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport with an eave overhang that is two and a half feet from the side property line and 2) a seven foot variance from the ten foot front setback requirement, also described in Section 35-310.01, to allow the carport three feet from front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4939 Fortuna Drive approximately 100 feet east of Fortuna Place. The applicant constructed a wood carport, without a permit, and the eave overhang is located within six inches of the side property line. As the carport is attached to the dwelling, it also has to comply with the ten foot front building setback line triggered by the "R-5" Residential Single-Family base zoning district. Two variances are requested to keep the carport as constructed.
