Request
The original request was for a 4'11" from the 5'side setback requirement to allow for an attached carport to be 1" from the side property line. However, due to property line corrections, the request has been modified by the applicant to a 4'9" variance from the 5' side setback requirement, described in Section 35-310.01, to allow for an attached carport to be 3" from the side property line.

Executive Summary
The subject property is on the Southern side of Lively Drive near Dewhurst Road. The property is a single family home with an attached carport on the front and a detached garage and storage shed at the rear of the property. There is a 15' wide alley to the rear which appears to be a service alley. The property owner has an existing carport attached to the front right side of their dwelling and wishes to expand covered parking for their vehicles by adding another attached carport. The public right of way extends 10.5' from the edge of the street.

The property owner began the permitting process for a new carport where he was notified of the need for a variance due to the side setback requirement for an attached carport. Upon visit to the site, staff noted that the carport posts were already in place and attached to the home and fence. The distance between posts is 9'7". The property owner states the contractor started work on the carport after the variance application was submitted and received a stop work order as a result.
