Request
A request for 1) a 7' variance from the 10' front yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport to be 3' from the front property line and 2) a 15% variance from the 50% maximum front yard impervious cover limitation, as described in Section 35-515 (d)(1), to allow the front yard to be 65% covered in impervious surfacing.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 226 Croesus Avenue, approximately 115' east of Vance Jackson Road. The applicant is requesting to keep the carport as constructed. The subject property has a 2 car garage and had an attached 2 car carport that was removed and replaced with the current structure. Code Enforcement initiated this case on December 23, 2016 due to building a carport without permits. During field visits staff noted that the applicant is exceeding the 50% maximum front yard impervious cover limitation. Croesus Avenue has multiple properties with carports that meet the 10' front setback from the property line and have less than the 50% front yard impervious cover. The subject property is also within the Mandatory Detention Area. While this ordinarily affects commercial properties, it does speak to flooding issues within this immediate community.
The applicant submitted a site plan that incorrectly shows a five foot front setback. The applicant is aware of the inconsistency.
