Request
A request for 1) a 7 foot variance from the 10 foot front setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport 3 feet from the front property line, and 2) a variance from the distance restriction that requires that architectural features remain 3 feet from a property line, as described in Section 35-516 (j), to allow an eave overhang on the front property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant is seeking a variance to allow a carport to remain on the property line. The posts of the carport are located three feet from the front property line. The overhang extends to the front property line. According to Section 35-516 (j), every part of a required yard shall be open and unobstructed from the ground to the sky except for permitted accessory structures and the ordinary projection of sills, belt courses, cornices, buttresses, eaves, and similar architectural features, provided that such projections shall extend neither more than five (5) feet into any required yard nor closer than three (3) feet to any property line. The carport is 31 feet in length and is made of entirely of metal, reducing the risk of fire spread. The owner hired a contractor, who failed to obtain permits, and was cited by Code Enforcement.
