2900 Crouchwood
Lot 41, Kingwood Place
R-2
From the area provisions of Section
36-254(d) to permit a carport
addition with a reduced side yard
setback.
The only possible location for a
wider carport due to an excessive
slope at the southern side of the
lot. Also, the cars need to be
protected from vandalism and the
weather.

There are none to be reported.
B_ Staff Analysis:
The owners of 2900 Crouchwood would like to enlarge an
existing carport, and a variance is need to allow the new
addition. The plan is to extend the carport to the property
line, a zero foot setback. For this lot, the ordinance
requires a 7 foot side yard. The construction will involve
extending the roof and placing the new supports on the
property line or close to it. The proposed structure will
not be enclosed or include adding any walls. Every effort
will be made to maintain the design integrity of the
residence and avoid the look of a "slapped -on" addition.
The area of the proposed expansion is the only logical one
available because of the existing carport and the slope of
the lot. On the south side of the lot, there is
drop-off which makes it somewhat difficult to build along
the south property line. Also, it appears that a carport

addition on the south side of the residence would require a
variance. The lot to the north will not be impacted because
it is higher and there will be sufficient separation.
Runoff or drainage will not be a problem because the carport
expansion'will continue the roof line and keep the water on
the lot in question. Adequate justification for the
variance has been provided and the owners have selected the
most reasonable location for the carport addition.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the setback variance with the
condition that the carport addition not be enclosed.
130ARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JULY.25, 1994)
The applicant was represented by Angelynn Hardcastle. There were
no objectors. Ms. Hardcastle said that she had no problems with
the condition. She then responded to a question about the
neighbor to the north and said that they had submitted a letter
in support of the variance.
A motion was made to approve the variance with the condition that
the carport addition never be enclosed. The motion passed by a
vote of 6 ayes, 0 nays, 2 absent and I open position.
