Request
A request for a 20 foot variance from the 20 foot platted front setback, as described in Section 35-516 (o), to allow a carport to be on the front property line and 2) a four foot variance from the five foot side setback, as described in Table 35-310, to allow a carport one foot from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The property is located within the Richland Hills Unit-1 subdivision, which was established October 22, 1980 and includes a 20 foot platted front setback. The owner received a code violation for failure to obtain a permit and encroachment into the front and side setback. The home is built within a cul-de-sac and the lot has an irregular pie shape that narrows in the front. This shape causes the side setback to decrease as the structure gets closer to the frontage. The carport extends 23 feet from the front of the home, but it is difficult for staff to determine the location of the front property line. According to the applicant, the carport is currently 12 feet from the curb. A cul-de-sac right of way is 100 feet in diameter, with a 50 foot radius from the center point. Typically, the City right-of-way extends beyond the curb 10 feet, making the existing carport potentially setback an estimated two feet. There are several other carports within this subdivision, many encroaching into the platted setback.
