Request
A request for a 19 foot variance from the 30 foot platted front setback, as described in UDC 35-516(o), to allow a carport 11 feet from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located within the Dreamland Oaks Subdivision, a subdivision of quarter-acre lots recorded in 1959 with a 30 foot front setback. This large front setback has resulted in mature tree-lined streets and shaded yards with single-story ramblers. The home was built in 1963 according to Bexar County Appraisal District and includes slightly over 2,000 square feet of living space. The applicant has built a carport in order to provide protection of her vehicles and herself in bad weather. It is wider than the driveway and taller than the home. She intends to complete the carport to architecturally match the home.
There are a few another carports on Burr Oak Drive, but they have flat roofs and are further back from the street, making them less obtrusive. There are no permits on file for the two nearby carports.
