Request
A request for a 7'5" variance from the 10' front setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport to be 2'7" from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 4223 Katrina Lane, approximately 95' west of Muriel Avenue. Code Enforcement initiated this case on April 18th, 2018 due to setback violations.
The applicant is requesting to keep a carport built without permits within the front setback. The lot was designed as a zero lot line property, thus no side setback variances are required along the east property line. The general character of the neighborhood consists of single-family residences, attached two car garages, and no carports. Because of this, the carport is noticeably out of character within the community. Additionally, the slope of the carport directs storm water drainage towards the east of the property, that being the zero lot line, and onto adjacent property.
