The R-2 zoned property located at 1910 East 38th Street is
occupied by a one-story, single-family residence. At some
point in the past, the carport was enclosed and converted
into living space. The house has no covered parking. The
applicant proposes to construct a two -car carport addition
onto the front of house. The addition will be built across
a platted 25 -foot building line and will result in a front
yard setback of 8± feet. The code requires a front yard
setback of 25 feet.

Item No.: 2 (Cont.)
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. East 38th
Street is a dead-end residential street within an 80 -foot
right-of-way. The proposed carport addition will be set
back 34-35 feet from the ,curb of the street. The carport
v)ill remain open on the sides and front and will have a hip
roof similar to the existing home. The slope of the roof,
without a large gable on the front, helps reduce the visual
impact of the addition.
If the Board approves the variance, the applicant will have
to do a one -lot replat reflecting the change in the building
line. The applicant should review the filing procedure with
the Circuit Clerk's office to determine if the replat
requires a revised Bill of Assurance.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the setback and building line
variances subject to compliance with the following
conditions:
1. A one -lot replat reflecting the change in the building
line.
2. The carport is to remain open and unenclosed on all
sides other than at the point it adjoins the house.
3. The carport addition is to have a hip roof constructed
in a style similar to the existing house, without a
large gable.
