5250 Grovehill Drive
Legal Description:
Lot 27, Block 15, NCB 14404

"R-5 AHOD" Residential Single-Family Airport Hazard Overlay District
Prepared By:
Kristin Flores, Planner

Request
A request for the elimination of the five foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport with an eave overhang to remain on the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5250 Grovehill Drive approximately 157 feet east of Chesterhill Drive. The applicant built an attached carport made largely of wood and stucco, and did so without building permits. The applicant was cited by code enforcement. The carport is built along the side property line and detracts from the essential character of the community. The structure is wired with electric utility and has dome lighting on the ceiling. Staff finds that this results in an increased fire risk for adjacent, conforming properties.
