Request
A request for a 3'9" variance from the required 5' side setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a structure to be 1'3" away from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting a side setback variance to maintain a newly built addition and back patio to be within the side setback. The house was recently renovated, and the addition was constructed for extra living space.
The original structure was built circa 1930 that is off orientation to the north-south property lines; thus, any additions to the rear of this house would need variances due to the continual encroachment within the side setback on the west side of the property. Many lots on Vitra are of similar design and orientation with a construction date within the 1930's.
