Request
A request for a 19 foot variance from the minimum 30 foot platted front setback, as described in Section 35-516(o), to allow a carport to be built 11 feet from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the Town View Estates Subdivision and includes over 10,000 square feet of lot area. The subdivision was platted with a 30 foot front building setback line. The home was built in 1975 with a 35 foot setback and an attached two-car garage. At some point since then, the garage was converted into living space. The property owner is seeking permission to build a carport. When they came to obtain a permit, they were informed of the additional platted setback requirement. Rather than choosing to amend the plat, they are seeking relief from the Board of Adjustment. If not for the platted front setback, the project would be permitted.
