From the area regulations of
Section 36-156(2) to permit
construction of a detached carport
with a reduced front yard setback.
The property currently has no
covered parking. Because of the
narrow, pie -shaped site, extreme
slope of the property, elaborate
landscaping, existing large
boulders, large trees and heavy
vegetation, the location for a
carport is limited to this one
area.

The applicant proposes to construct a 20 foot by 10.3 foot
carport with a front yard setback of 27 feet. The ordinance
requires accessory structures to have a front yard setback
of 60 feet.
The site is pie -shaped and heavily landscaped. In addition,
the property slopes up to the north and the east, limiting
the level, buildable area to the front of the lot. The
property is virtually hidden from the street by dense
landscaping and a privacy fence. The proposed carport is to
be located behind the privacy fence. A garage -type door is
to be placed on the front of the carport which will line up
