Variance
Requested:
Justification:
Girod Adkinson
7204 Azalea Drive
Lot 109, Cloverdale Addition
"R-2" Single Family
From the rear yard provisions of
Section 7-101.2/d.3 to permit a new
garage with a 20 -foot setback
By connecting the garage to the house with a covering, I
would be providing further protection for vehicles that I
would park there and it would also not be necessary to park
visitors vehicles on the street, thereby eliminating
additional hazards to drivers on an already heavy traveled
street.
During periods of heavy rain, the covering would also
prevent water from entering the garage since the garage
carport and connecting slab are all on the same elevation.
The covering would concentrate all vehicles under roof and
close to the house, thereby lessening the chances of
vandalism and creating a more pleasing view from the street
with only one vehicle being seen in the carport instead of
several in the driveway.
By connecting the garage to the house by means of a roof, my
property and especially the structures would become more
attractive to the neighborhood by maintaining the
architectural continuity of our home.

B. Staff Analysis
The staff visit to this site reveals a detached garage
under construction. This construction in our
estimation creates a circumstance that renders the
canopy connection a minor issue. The garage
encroachment and yard space is permitted as a detached
building. Therefore, connection to the house does not
create a light, air or congestion problem for neighbors
in the conventional sense. The several issues of this
nature which have been reviewed by the Board invariably
results in a requirement to maintain the canopy and
prohibit any sidewalls or storage room extensions.
C. Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the variance as filed
subject to this being maintained as a roof over only
and no enclosure of the side walls between the garage
and house and no extension of the carport storage room.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
The staff presented its recommendation. There were no
objectors present. The owner was present and offered a
statement in support of his variance.- A brief discussion
was held resulting in a motion to approve the request as
recommended by staff. The motion passed by a vote of:
6 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 2 open positions.
