A request for a 30 foot variance from the 30 foot platted front setback, as described in Section 35-516(o), to allow a carport to be on the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5047 Crusade Drive, approximately 823 feet east of King Arthur Drive. The applicant built a carport without permits and was cited by Code Enforcement. The carport meets the side setback, but is located on the front property line. The Board has recently considered several other carports in this community. Of the four considered by the Board, none have been granted permission to allow for a carport on the front property line. Rather, the Board approved requests to allow carports ten feet from the front property line to meet the front setback required by the zoning district. Carports are not uncommon within the neighborhood, 16 of the 48 homes on the street, being 1/3 of the homes have them, however staff could not locate another that was built on the front property line. The Board would need to eliminate the front setback to allow the structure to remain in its current location.
