Monroe The north 37.5 feet of Lot 52 and the south 27.5 feet of Lot 53, Shadowlawn Addition "R-2" Single Family Relief from Section 7-101.2D to permit a side yard setback of two feet for a carport. Single Family Same Staff Recommendation: No adverse comments have been received from any reviewing agencv. The applicant plans an attached carport of wood construction which will be open on both ends but partially screened by lattice work on the south side (nearest the property line and the neighbor's house). We checked with the City's Building Code Department and found that no prohibition of this project exists in the Building Code. The height of the new structure proposed is such that no significant reduction of light to the neighbor's windows should occur. Staff finds the zoning considerations in this case to be consistent with earlier similar requests which have been approved by the Board of Adjustment. There will be reasonable separation between structures, and much of the screening effect is already present because of an existing hedge. Staff recommends approval with the condition that proper measures be taken to assure that water from the flat roof of the carport is not permitted to run at random from the carport structure. It is suggested that guttering be provided along the south edge of the roof to facilitate proper channelization of .runoff. Staff support of this request is dependent upon no opposition .from the neighbor to the south. September 21, 1981 Item No. 5 - Continued Board Action: The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. After a brief discussion, the Board moved to approve the application as filed with the provision that adequate drainage facilities be provided to prevent random runoff from the roof structure proposed. A motion was passed: 5 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
