The Board of Adjustment here by approves the variance request based upon the following findings
of fact.
Board of Adjustment Recommended Findings of Fact
1. Although there are no unique conditions or features of the property, the house is
constructed in the middle of the lot making it impossible to construct a two -car attached
carport on the north side of the lot without a variance.
2. Substandard building setbacks are prevalent in the surrounding properties of this area.
3. The literal compliance with Sections 9-501 & 9-601 of the Zoning Ordinance would cause
unnecessary hardship given the fact that dwelling was previously constructed in the
middle of the parcel without room for a 2 stall wide carport without a variance.
4. The granting of the variance will not violate the spirit or the intent of this article, but it will
allow a structure to be permitted adjacent to the neighboring property line.
5. The condition or feature which creates the need for the variance does result from the
property owner's own actions. There is room to construct an accessory carport structure
in the rear yard without a variance.
6. The variance by the applicant is not solely for personal convenience, financial hardship, or
other reasons unrelated to the property, but physical convenience with the structure in the
proposed location would be favorable to the land owner where requested.
7. The proposed use of a new attached carport accessory structure for the single-family
dwelling is a permitted addition to the principal residential use of the property in the 2F
Zoning District.
This decision was filed in the Board's office on 09/07/2021.
