Request
A request for 1) a 15 foot variance from the 20 foot platted front setback, as described in Section 35-516(o), to allow a carport to be five feet from the front property line and 2) a four foot variance from the required five foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport with an eave overhang to be one foot from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 10214 Prescott Drive, just south of the intersection of Prescott Drive and White Rock Drive. The applicant built a large carport, without permits, and was cited by Code Enforcement on July 7, 2016. Per the applicant, the carport was designed to protect handicapped vehicles and helps to provide shade for children waiting for the bus. During the field visit, staff noted the presence of no other carports encroaching into the front setback along Prescott Drive. The carport is very large, measuring 25 feet deep by 30 feet wide, totaling 750 square feet in area; the carport has become the dominant feature on the property. The carport has an eave overhang that is located one foot from the side property line, with posts three feet away. Because the carport is attached to the home, it is required to be five feet from the side property line.
