Request
A request for a 13 foot variance from the 30 foot platted front setback, as described in Section 35-516 (o) and the 30 foot Whispering Oaks Neighborhood Conservation District front setback, as described in Section 35-335, to allow a carport to be built 17 feet from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property includes an 11,400 square foot lot in the Whispering Oak Subdivision, recorded in 1968. The plat includes a 30 foot platted front building setback, triggering the need for a variance to allow the proposed construction of a carport. In addition, the Whispering Oak Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD) Standards, adopted in 2005, also codified this minimum front setback. The applicant began construction of a carport, measuring 16 feet wide by 18 feet deep, and was cited by Code Enforcement and instructed to request a building permit. If approved, the carport as proposed will be 17 feet from the front property line. The applicant is proposing to enhance the carport by using matching building materials and roof pitch in compliance with the NCD provisions. These are the only applicable NCD standards.
