Request
A request for a 14'3" variance from the 20' garage setback, as described in Section 35-516, to allow a garage to be 5'9" from the property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4602 Shavano Birch, 341 feet northwest of Shavano Court. The applicant requests a variance to expand an existing garage measuring 21' in length by an additional 9'5" in order to store the applicant's vehicle, which measures 19' in length. The property is located in a district that is known to have detached garages, and as a corner lot, the occupant is left with inadequate space for vehicle's parked in the driveway without partially parking beyond the property line. The house was constructed in 1994, before the 2001 Unified Development Code was established on a mandatory 20' distance between the garage and property line. Currently, the garage is 15'4" away from the property line.
Other options have been explored in expanding the garage, however, there is a large heritage tree present north of the garage in which the applicant has expressed interest in maintaining.
