Code Sections: 4.8(D)(3)(C),4.8(D)(3)(d) Petitioner: Earnie Garner ZoningDistrict NCB Other Business: Zoning Board of Appeals Agenda Regular Meeting Thursday, October 09, 2003 Appeal 2443 Address 1501 Emigh St Petitioner Dean and Julie McCollum Zoning District RL Section 4.3(D)(2)(d) Description The variance would reduce the required side-yard setback along the south lot line from 5'to 3' in order to allow the construction of a patio cover over an existing concrete patio. Hardship See petitioner's letter. Staff Comments It may be difficult to consider this appeal as a hardship variance since there is nothing unusual about the situation. With regards to porch covers, the setback is measured from the support posts to the property line, and the roof overhang is allowed to encroach 2' into the required setback. In this particular instance, the petitioner's want to put the posts at a 3' setback, with no overhang. Moving the posts in 2'would result in a structure that complies with the code, and the roof would be in the same location as proposed. This is similar to an appeal heard at the September 11,2003 ZBA meeting wherein a trellis structure was constructed over an existing concrete patio and the posts were 3.5'from the lot line. The Board determined that situation to be "equal to or better than", based on the design of the structure, including the roof, being very open and thereby meeting the intent of the setback standard with regards to light and ventilation. This particular proposal differs from the September item because this proposed roof is a solid roof rather than open trellis. o r: Appeal 2444 Address 1604 Richards Place Petitioner Leslie Jones Zoning District NCL Section 4.6(E)(3) Description The variance would reduce the required rear-yard setback along the north lot line from 15' to 14'--1" in order to allow a screened porch to be constructed over the existing concrete patio slab. The porch will line up with the existing north wall of the house which is already at a 14'— 1" setback. Hardship The petioner believes that lining the new porch up with the existing wall of the house would look better. Additionally, tieing the new roof into the existing roof is accomplished better by lining it up. The lot is only 90' in depth, so it is a shallow lot. Staff Comments It is a shallow lot, and the porch will line up with the existing wall, so there may be some consideration for a hardship.
