A request for a two foot variance from the minimum three foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-370 (b), to allow an unattached carport to be located one foot from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5218 Grovehill Drive approximately 680 feet East of Chesterhill Drive. The applicant constructed an unattached carport one foot from the property line, without permits, and was cited by code. The carport, largely composed of high density polyethylene fabrics and metal, was constructed to provide protection for the applicant's property. Staff noted, while the carport is attractive and well built, carports are rare within the community. Additionally, there is no special condition noted by the applicant which requires the carport to exceed permitted side setbacks.
