STAFF REPORT
Monique Gipson has applied for a variance to the minimum side yard
building setback from 5' to 0.68'. The property is located at 1260
East Drive.
An inspection of the subject property discovered that the carport and
an addition on the back of the house were being constructed without a
building permit. Ms. Gipson states that she thought the contractor
had taken care of the necessary permits. Ms. Gipson says that the
left side of her lot has a narrow, single car, concrete driveway in poor
repair. Due to the unsafe condition of the original driveway she had
it removed and replaced with a new concrete driveway. In addition
to the new driveway, Ms. Gipson decided to have a carport and
storage room constructed to provide protection for her car and
needed storage space.
When she was making application to appear before the Board of
Adjustment, staff noticed that the carport actually extended 1' over
the adjacent property line. As a result of that encroachment, the
neighboring property owner has deeded 1.5' of his lot to Ms. Gipson.
This puts the carport 0.68' from the new property line.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
