Request
A request for a 3'6" variance from the 5' rear setback, also described in Section 35-370, to allow a carport to be 1'6" away from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant is seeking a variance to keep a carport replacement within the 5' rear setback. Per the applicant, the previous carport was built prior to 1995; however in 2016 it was destroyed in a tornado. The applicant applied for a permit in August 2018 and Development Services issued a permit issued in February 2019. In July 2019, during a code compliance officer inspection it was discovered that the carport was rebuilt without a Board of Adjustment variance approval.
The applicant states the carport was reconstructed within the footprint of the original carport that was destroyed during a tornado strike that occurred in 2016. There is currently a 6' privacy fence separating the commercial office from a single-family residence lot to the rear. The new carport is a steel structure with a metal roof which does not have any storm water controls present.
Code Enforcement History
On June 28, 2019 Code Enforcement issued a citation due to the carport encroaching in the 5' rear setback requirement.
Permit History
The applicant is waiting for variance to be approved to finalize inspection and close carport permit.
