Request
A request for 1) a 1'4" variance to the minimum side setback requirement of 5', as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a new addition having 1'2" overhang to be 3'8" away from the side property line, and 2) a 4'9" variance to the minimum side setback requirement of 5', also described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a detached carport to be 3" away from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 2510 Cincinnati Avenue, a few blocks away from St. Mary's University. The neighborhood is predominantly surrounded by single-family properties.
The applicant built a new addition on the side of the existing house to use as storage. Built with a one-hour fire wall. There are three carports on this property built as temporary structures. Nails used to anchor the metal carports to the ground. One of the carports located in the rear yard is within the side setback and is 3" away from the side property line. The applicant is using this carport as a patio and storage area. As the subject carport does not have any projecting architectural features like an overhang, Sec. 35-370 (b) allows for the side setback to be three feet instead of 5'.
The applicant obtained a permit to build the new addition; however, the inspection approval is pending this variance.
