Request
A request for 1) a 10 foot variance from the 30 foot platted front setback to allow carport to be
20 feet from the front property line and 2) a 5 foot variance from the 5 foot side setback, both as
described in Table 35-310, to allow a second carport to be on the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the East Village Subdivision, recorded in 1968 and includes almost 10,000 square feet of lot area. The home was constructed in 1970 with an attached garage. The garage has been converted into living space and the owner has recently constructed two carports; one to the front and one on the side. The carport in front encroaches into the 30 foot front platted setback, but remains 20 feet back from the property line. The second smaller carport is located on the side property line. According to the applicant, it maintains a 12 foot distance from the adjacent home and will be retrofitted with fire rated construction if the requested variance is approved. The applicant has included details in the application materials outlining plans to address fire spread during the building permit process.
The property is irregular in shape with a wide frontage and a narrower rear. This shape has an impact on the side setback which is narrowing with every foot behind the street. The smaller carport on the side is 13 feet wide in the front and only 9 feet wide in the rear. The applicant has told staff that it is for use as cover for a small boat.
