Request

A request for a 4'6" variance side setback from the 5' side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached carport to be 6" from the west property line.

Executive Summary

The subject property is located approximately 200 feet east of Clark Avenue. The applicant is requesting a variance to maintain a 6" side setback from the west property line to keep an attached carport, as built. The carport was rebuilt within the same foot print of the previous carport and is in the same location for approximately 11 years with no complaints until now. The applicant states that the carport was in place prior to change of ownership. Code Enforcement initiated this case on March 13, 2019. The structure is made entirely of wood. There are a few similar carports placed within the side setbacks near the applicant's property.
