Request
A request for 1) a 2 foot variance from the minimum 5 foot side yard setback, as described in Table 35-310.01, to allow a carport to remain 3 feet from the property line; 2) a 4 foot variance from the minimum 5 foot side yard setback, as described in Table 35-310.01, to allow a home with an eave overhang to remain 1 foot from the property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 2206 Delgado Street approximately 108 feet west of NW 25th Street. The applicant constructed a home addition with eave overhang and carport, without permits, and was cited by Code.
An attached carport was built three feet from the applicant's shared side property line. The neighboring home is approximately 3 feet from the shared property line providing approximately 6 feet between the two structures. If the variance is granted, the applicant will be required to address fire separation construction requirements.
In addition, the applicant built an addition with an eave overhang 1 foot from the shared side property line. The neighboring property, adjacent to the home addition, is approximately 15 feet from the shared property line. As such, there is 16 foot spacing between the home addition and the neighboring home, more than the 10 foot spacing required by current code which mandates a five foot setback from each structure. Additionally, if the variance is approved, the applicant will have to meet fire rating standards for structures located within the minimum setback.
