Request
A request for a 4' variance from the side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a carport to be 1' from the side property line.

Executive Summary
The subject property is a single family home completely surrounded by single family residences. To the rear of the property is a graveled service alley. The applicant hired a contractor in 2019 to construct a detached metal carport. The carport was partially constructed when the property owner received a citation and stop work order for the carport. The property owner was informed of the setback requirements when they attempted to pull a permit for the carport. The property owner states the carport will be designed to have a channeled metal roof with a slope to the rear so water will drain on site. No gutters have been planned at this stage of the project.
