Request
A request for a 24 foot variance from the official 30 foot platted front setback to allow a carport to be 6 feet from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant currently resides in the Lackland City Subdivision, a subdivision that was recorded in 1968. The lot includes approximately 9,650 square feet, with a home built in 1968. The subdivision plat includes a 30 foot front setback and a 10 foot rear setback. The applicant has started to construct a new carport to replace the flat metal roof one that was built when the house was built. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for construction without a building permit. In looking through the neighborhood, many homes have both types of carports, either the flat roof or the more modern gable roof version. Of those newer versions noted, none sought permits. As with many property owners, the applicant did not know about the platted setback or the exact location of the front property line.
