Request
A request for 1) 4'11" variance from the 5' side setback, as described in Section 35-370, to allow a carport to be 1" from the side property line, and 2) a special exception to allow a 7' tall open screen fence in the front yard, as described in Section 35-514.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 309 Landa Avenue, approximately 150 feet West of Knoke Street. The applicant is seeking a variance to reduce the side setback for a carport from five feet to one inch. The applicant is proposing to build an attached metal carport to be one inch from the side property line shared with another home. The carport will feature a slope towards the front of the property to mitigate rainwater runoff concerns. During field visits staff noticed a 7 foot tall wrought iron fence in the front yard of the subject property, built without permits. However, the applicant did apply and obtained a permit to build a 5 foot tall wrought iron fence in the front yard of the subject property and built a 7 foot tall wrought iron fence in the front yard without a permit that allows for this height.
