Owner:
Miguel Leons
Council District:|1313|Location:
154 Kinder Drive
Legal Description:
Lot 17, Block 2, NCB 9793
Zoning:
"R-4 AHOD" Residential Single-Family Airport Hazard Overlay District
Prepared By:
Kristin Flores, Planner

Request
A request for 1) a 4 foot variance from the minimum 5 foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached patio cover 1 foot from the property line; 2) a 2 foot variance from the maximum 4 foot front yard fence height, as described in Section 35-514 (d), to allow a 6 foot fence and 3) a 5 foot variance from the maximum 4 foot front yard fence height, as described in Section 35-514 (d), to allow a 9 foot gate.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 154 Kinder Drive approximately 80 feet east of Milo Drive. The applicant built an attached patio cover made largely of wood, and did so without building permits. The patio cover is built 1 foot from the property line and is wired with electricity. Additionally, the applicant built a 6 foot fence in the front yard largely made of stone, concrete, and wrought iron. Additionally, the front fence also contains a 9 foot gate made of wrought iron and framed with stone and concrete. The applicant was cited by code enforcement. Staff finds that this results in an increased fire risk for adjacent, conforming properties, and does not conform to the overall character of the community.
