Request
A request for an 8' 9" variance to the minimum 20' rear setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached pergola and overhang to be 11' 3" from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 10523 Millspring and there is currently a single-family residence on the property. The applicant has begun constructing an attached pergola in the rear of the property and is proposing it also be used to house solar panels. The pergola is attached to the residence and extends 19.8' past the primary structure, causing the structure to encroach 8' 9" into the rear setback. The minimum rear setback is twenty feet, and the applicant is proposing the pergola to be constructed 11' 3" away from the property line, which is measured from the edge of the overhang. Staff measured the distance from the post of the pergola to the fence, which was 17' 8". The overhang itself is about 6' 5", and during the residential plan review process, any submitted plans are required to be signed and sealed by an engineer.

Permit History
The applicant applied for an electrical permit to obtain the solar panels in 2019.
