Request

A request for a 4'2" variance from the 5' side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-371(a), to allow for an existing attached carport to be 10" away from the side property line.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located at 146 Helena Street. The applicant is requesting a decrease of the side building setback line to keep the existing attached carport where it is currently located. The elderly homeowner needs to encroach on the side setback requirement in order for there to be ample space to pull his vehicle into the driveway so that he can then access a wheelchair ramp located at the rear of the home. The attached carport was built without permits.

Code Enforcement History

On April 5, 2019 the applicant received a code violation for building the carport without a permit and for building the carport within the side setbacks. The case is currently open.

Permit History

There is no permit history related to the attached carport on the property. The property owner is seeking a variance to allow for permit to be issued.
