Per the applicant, the previous carport was destroyed by a tornado in 2016; the previous carport had been in place since 1990. The applicant rebuilt the carport in the same footprint of the destroyed carport. On July 2, 2019, a code investigator noticed the carport built without permits. The new carport has a steel structure with a canvas roof.
