Request
A request for a 4' 3" variance to the minimum setback requirement of 5', as described in Section 35-370(b), to allow a detached carport to be 9" away from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located on the northeast corner of the Spofford and Mason Street intersection. There is currently an office use on the subject property with surface off-street parking. The applicant is requesting the variance in order to construct a carport for coverage of multiple vehicles. In order to have enough area for the vehicles to drive into and reverse from their spots, the applicant is requesting to construct the overhang 9" away from the property line. The solid steel columns that hold the structure upright are 6' 8" feet away from the property line. There is currently a single-family residence constructed on the abutting property. Since the property does have a Historical Overlay District, the applicant was heard by the Historical Design Review Commission and received an Approval. The Certificate of Appropriateness was requested for the installation of an 8-vehicle, metal carport with solar collectors. The Commission approved the request with stipulations to incorporate landscape screening into the design, and the Certificate of Appropriateness was issued on February 19, 2020
