Owner:

Council District:|1313|Location:
712 Whitman Avenue
Legal Description:
Lots 7 & 8, Block 75, NCB 8046
Zoning:
"R-4 AHOD" Residential Single-Family Airport Hazard Overlay District
Prepared By:
Logan Sparrow, Senior Planner
Request
A request for a four foot variance from the required five foot accessory unit side yard setback, as described in Section 35-370(b)(1), to allow an existing accessory unit with an eave overhang to remain one foot from the side property line and 2) a two foot variance from the five foot rear setback, also described in Section 35-370(b)(1), to allow the same accessory unit to remain three feet from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 712 Whitman Avenue approximately 108 feet west of Kyle Street. The applicant constructed a large, two-story accessory unit in the rear of the property. In the applicant's site plan, the room is listed as a "play room". Because the structure is occupied, it must be at least five feet from the side and rear property lines. Currently, the two-story structure's eave overhang is within one foot of the side property line and three feet from the rear property line. There is another structure in the rear yard of the property in violation of the current setback requirements, however this structure was built years prior and, therefore, not the subject of this variance request. If approved, the applicant would still need to submit plans for a residential inspection to determine how best to fire rate the structure.
