Request
A request for a 1) a 10 foot variance from the minimum 10 foot front setback and 2) a 5 foot variance from the 5 foot side setback, both as described in Table 35-310-1, to allow a carport on the front and side property lines.
Executive Summary
The subject property's home was built in 1924 on a 6,000 square foot lot created in 1908 with the recording of the Keystone Park Addition plat. The owner recently built a wooden carport 40 feet deep and 14 feet wide over the driveway into the minimum front and the side setbacks. The carport extends out to the front property line, and includes a shed roof and gutter. The angle of the shed roof also catches all of stormwater from the west-facing half of the home's gable roof, making the gutter system likely inadequate. Construction did not include any fire spread protection and includes an over-head electric fixture. The property was cited for construction without a building permit and will be required to address all of the building code standards if the Board approves either the requested variance or an alternative variance. The owner is requesting the two variances to keep the carport as constructed.
