A request for 1) a 4'11' variance from the 5' side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached front porch to be 1" from the west side property line and 2) a 4'11' from the 5' side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached carport to be 1" from the west side property line, and 3) a request for a 45% variance from the 50% front yard impervious cover limitation, as described in Section 35-515 (d)(1), to allow 95% of the front yard to be covered in impervious cover.

Executive Summary

The applicant is also seeking permission for the front yard to be covered in cement exceeding the 50% impervious cover limitation. This block has several properties with small carports within the side or front setback, but other homes meet the 50% maximum front yard impervious cover requirement.
