Request
A request for a 22 foot variance from the 25 foot platted building setback, as described in Section 35-516 (O), to allow a carport 3 feet from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property was platted as part of the Pipers Meadow Subdivision Unit 2, recorded in 1974. The subdivision plat includes a 25 foot platted front setback. The UDC standard front setback is 10 feet from the property line, but due to the 25 foot platted front setback, a variance is required before the applicant can construct the proposed carport. The property owner recently constructed a wooden carport on the front property line without a building permit. The applicant built the carport 3 feet from the front property line. The property owners were cited by Code Enforcement but were unable to get a building permit without approval of the requested variance. According to the applicant, the carport is necessary to protect the family and his property during inclement weather. The new wooden carport satisfies the minimum 5 foot side setback, therefore it will not require fire-rated construction.
