Reynolds Address: 9000 Bailey Road Description: Lot 14, Block 7, Pennbrook Addition Zoned: "R-3" Single Family District Variance Requested: From the rear yard setback provisions of Section 43/7-101.2 of the Code of Ordinances to permit an open carport with 5-foot setback. The ordinance requirement is 8 feet. JUSTIFICATION The owner states in his justification that the shape of the lot, the unconventional location of the building line and location of the house to accommodate these circumstances are his justification. STAFF REPORT A. Engineering Issues There are no reported engineering issues attendant to this case. The lot in question is of record as a part of the Pennbrook Addition. All street and drainage issues were addressed in that plat and are in place. B. Staff Analysis The structural relationships between the neighbor's house and the proposal are good. Inasmuch as that house provides 20 feet or more side yard against the rear lot line of this lot, there would be no fire or safety hazard. The plan filed does not reflect an existing building at the northwest corner of the lot which is approximately 14 feet square. As an accessory building, it may occupy no more than 30 percent of the required rear iardeentPreThetcarportoccupies extension, if approximately 10 Prc located in conformance with the ordinance, would require an 8-foot setback for the rear yard since the lot is required to provide a 25-foot setback on both boundary streets. The shaded area on the drawing is the foundation line or the face of supporting members; therefore, a 24-inch overhang of eaves would be permitted. This should be considered in the motion on final action if the overhang is not desired by the Board. October 17, 1983 Item No. 1 - Continued C. Staff Recommendation Staff feels that the variance is justified by the circumstances. We would recommend that the structure be limited to a flat roof at the lowest elevation possible while providing a safe clearance for vehicle entry. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: Mr. Reynolds, the owner, was present. There were no objectors present. Reynolds and the Board engaged in a discussion of the type of structure to be erected as to the composition of the roofline and the type of gable projection over the required yard area. This discussion resulted in a determination that a conventional gable would be constructed with no overhang proposed beyond the 5 foot setback line indicated on the drawing. A motion was made to approve the variance as requested subject to all physical elements of the gable and roofline remaining behind the 5 foot setback. The motion passed by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent. October 17, 1983 Item No. 1 - Z-4108 Owner: Larry D.
