Colford 614 North Spruce Street Description: Lot 9, Block 4, Pulaski Heights Addition Zoned: "R-2" Single Family District Variance Requested: 1. From the rear yard coverage provisions of Section 43/5-101.F.2.0 to permit an accessory building to occupy 620 square feet or 245 square feet above the maximum of 30 percent coverage. 2. From the side yard setback provisions of Section 43/5-101.F.2.0 to permit an accessory building addition with a 2 -foot setback (the ordinance requires 3'). JUSTIFICATION: 1. The location of the existing building and driveway. The proposed carport will be attached to the building and utilize the driveway. 2. Other sites on the property would also require the need for a variance request. Present Use of the Property: Single family residence Proposed Use of the Property: Same STAFF REPORT: A. As of this writing, no adverse comments have been received. B. The requested variance is for a carport addition to an existing accessory building. The carport will utilize a concrete slab that is in place and access will be off the alley. There are other carports in the neighborhood using a similar arrangement so this will not create a new precedent for the area. Other locations for the carport would create the need for a variance of some type, and the proposed location appears to be the most desirable and causing the least amount of disruption to the lot. The carport and the variance should have little impact on the neighborhood. April 16, 1984 Item No. 4 - Continued C. Staff recommends approval of the variance with the condition that the carport not be enclosed. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. A motion was made to approve the request with the condition that the carport not be enclosed. The motion passed by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 1 open position.
