Request
A request for 1) an elimination of the 30 foot side setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, and 2) an elimination of the 30 foot rear setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a wrap-around porch to be located on the side and rear property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant currently resides in the Lorraine Place Subdivision and was originally platted in 1919. The subject property was illegally subdivided sometime after 1919. The home was built in 1945 including a front porch. The lot is approximately 28 feet wide and 75 feet in length and is zoned "C-3R" General Commercial Restrictive Alcoholic Sales District. The homes on either side of the subject property were built in close proximity to the subject property. The applicant built a porch around the side and rear of the home to provide a safe passage way for travel around the home. The applicant built the porch without permits and was cited by code. Since the property is zoned "C-3" and is adjacent to a residential use there is a 30 foot side and rear setback. This is much larger than the required 5 foot side setback and 20 foot rear setback required in most residential zoning districts. The applicant has applied for a variance to keep the current porch design.
