"R-3" Single Family
Relief from Section 7-101.3d to permit
a 25' encroachment into the required
front yard for an open carport
Single Family
Single Family
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
A carport was constructed by a contractor prior to the
application for a variance. Staff does not know whether a
building permit was obtained prior to construction or not.
The carport no doubt projects into the public right-of-way,
as well as across the entire front yard setback.
The hardship in this case is probably totally associated
with economics, in that the owner has probably paid for this
carport and would have little recourse against the
contractor. Staff cannot support this application, even
though it would have supported an application for a carport
of approximately one half this length for either one or two
cars.
Staff recommends denial.
BOARD ACTION:
The applicant was present, and there were no objectors.
There was a lengthy discussion of the various alternatives
available, from complete removal of the structure to various
partial approvals of its location.
Finally, after all of the various choices had been examined,
the Board moved to approve the 25' front yard encroachment
with the provision that no enclosure of the structure be
permitted in the future. The motion was passed: 4 ayes, 2
noes and 1 abstention (George Wells abstained).

Item No. 2 - Z-3792
Owner: Borden Foods Company
By H.E. Windham
Address: 5800 Frozen Road
Description: Long Legal
Zoned: "I-2" Light Industrial
Variance
Requested: Relief from Section 7-104.2 to permit
a 10' side yard on the east side for
a warehouse addition
Present Use of
Property: Industrial
Proposed Use of
Property: Same
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The proposal is to construct an addition onto the easterly
front portion of the existing warehouse building. The
proposed addition will project forward approximately 80'
paralleling the east property line and the fence now in
place.
When the original building was constructed, the Zoning
Ordinance did not require any side yard setbacks in this
district. The proposed development does not increase the
nonconformity imposed by the present ordinance. Therefore,
Staff favors the requested variance.
Staff recommends approval.
BOARD ACTION:
The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. The
applicant stated that this was going to be a refrigerated
warehouse addition, and that its addition was dictated by
existing circumstances.
After a brief discussion, the Board moved to approve the
application as filed, and the motion was passed: 7 ayes and
0 noes.
