Request
A request for 1) a special exception to allow a six foot solid fence in portions of the front yard, as described in Section 35-514 (c)(2); 2) an 11 foot variance from the 15 foot platted front setback, as described in Section 35-516 (o), to allow a carport to be four feet from the front property line; and 3) a five foot variance from the five foot side setback to allow a carport to be on the side property, as described in Section 35-310.01(b).
Executive Summary
The property is located within the Villa del Carmen subdivision, which was established in 1943 and includes a 15 foot platted front setback. The metal carport is undergoing construction and is nearing completion. The owner was cited by code enforcement and wishes to obtain the proper documentation before continuing with the project. The home is built 25 feet from the front property line and the owner wishes to extend a carport four feet from the front property line, thus the request for the 11 foot variance. The existing six foot solid fence extends as close as eight feet to the front property line on both sides of the lot.
