Request
A request for a 5 foot variance from the minimum 10 foot front building setback, as shown on Table 35-310-1, to allow a carport 5 feet from the front property line
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the Oak Creek neighborhood, near Loop 1604 and W. Military Drive. The lot includes nearly 11,500 square feet and 110 feet of frontage on Rousseau Street. The homes were built in the 1980's. Recently, the applicant built a large carport, supported by six 8 x 8 treated beams. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the carport to remain as constructed. The structure is not encroaching into the side setback, so trespass and fire safety are not a concern. A similar carport is constructed on the house across the street, but it is inside the minimum front setback.
