Request
A request for a 13 foot variance from the 30 foot platted front setback, as described in Section 35-516 (o), to allow a carport to be 17 feet from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property was platted in 1959 as part of the Harmony Hills Subdivision and includes a 30 foot building setback along the front property line. The home was built in 1966 with an attached two car garage original to the house. The property owner is requesting a 13 foot variance to allow the addition of carport measuring 18 feet wide by 20 feet deep. The owner has installed two wooden support beams but was cited for construction without a permit. The proposed carport will satisfy the side setback and thus not require fire-rated construction. A survey of this street and two surrounding streets however found only one other carport within the 3 block radius of the subject property.
