Request
A request for 1) a three and a half foot variance from the required five foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an existing carport to remain one and a half feet from the side property line and 2) a five foot variance from the required ten foot front setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached carport to remain five feet from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant currently resides in the Lakeview Townsite Community which was recorded in 1909. Since 1909, the subject property has been subdivided but not re-platted. The current carport was built in 2009 along the east property line which is approximately 160 feet in length. The applicant was cited by code in 2009 for building without a permit and for building a carport that encroaches into the front and side setbacks. The applicant presented the carport encroachment case to the Board of Adjustment on June 15, 2009 in an effort to keep the carport in the current originally constructed location. The Board of Adjustment denied the applicant's request. The applicant has recently trimmed approximately five (5) of the front of the carport leaving the carport in noncompliance with the side and front setbacks for the past seven (7) years. During this time, code compliance has continued to fine the applicant and has taken the applicant to municipal court for failing to comply with development standards. The applicant is before the Board of Adjustment again today to keep the carport in the current location encroaching into the front and side setback.
