Request
A request for 1) a 4'11" variance from the 5' side setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached patio cover to be 1" from the side property line, and 2) a 4.5' variance from the 20' rear yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached patio cover to have a 15.5' rear setback.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 3303 Pollydale Avenue at the intersection with Pecan Valley Drive. The applicant is seeking to keep an attached patio cover that was built along the fence and 1" from the property line. The applicant got a double fee permit on November 3, 2017 for building an attached patio cover 1" from the side property line and 15.5' from the rear property line. When the owner applied for the permit he stated that the patio cover structure will be reduced to meet the required side and rear setbacks. The City building inspection department approved the patio cover building framing and the final building inspection on November 21, 2017. In March 2018 the owner received a ticket from Code Enforcement for not meeting the required setbacks. The patio cover structure creates an overbuilt environment, is made entirely of wood and there are no similar patio cover structures in the neighborhood.
