Request
A request for 1) a 9 foot 11 inch variance from the 10 foot front setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport one inch from the front property line and 2) a 4 foot 6 inch variance from the 5 foot side setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport to be six inches from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting the variance to allow a metal carport to remain one inch from the side property line and six inches from the front property line. During site visits, City staff observed the carport's posts six inches from the side, with a one foot overhang, which appears to be over the property line, and nine inches from the front property line with an eight inch overhang. The applicant stated she would be willing to shave down the side overhang to align with the steel beam to allow a six inch setback. The applicant stated the carport was constructed for convenience as one of the family members has an intellectual disability that creates difficulty when entering and exiting a vehicle during inclement weather.
