Request
A request for a 1) 4 foot variance to allow a carport 1 foot from the side property line, as described in Table 35-310, 2) a variance from the eave overhang limitation to allow an eave on the side property line as described in Section 35-516 (j), and 3) a 25% variance from the 50% impervious coverage limitation, described in Table 515-1, to allow 75% of the front yard impervious cover.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located in the Hot Wells Subdivision and is not the owner's homestead. The owner purchased the property in 2013 and recently constructed a carport 32 feet in length, and 20 feet wide without permits. The carport is all metal, slopes toward the roof of the home, but is built very near the property line. The applicant estimates that it is 18 inches from the property line, but the eave overhang may not have been included in that estimate. Therefore, two variances are required to maintain the carport as constructed. A third variance is required to allow the amount of impervious coverage in the front yard. The driveway is more than 20 feet in width and the second driveway curb cut for the 50 foot wide lot, creating issue the impervious coverage of the front yard. Permits are not required for flat work on private property, but construction inside the City's right of way requires a permit and an authorized contractor. No permits were secured for the additional curb cut.
