Zoning Code Discussion – Building Setback discussion A resident visited with staff about constructing a front porch at their property at 2909 Seminary Drive. The proposed porch would encroach into the front yard setback. Through Section 4-0430 (3) B, the required setback may be reduced to 24 feet under a Special Use Permit provided the addition is of the same exterior materials, the base of the structure is not open, and that the addition does not exceed 35 % of the width of the dwelling. The homeowner believes the site standards and special use standards found in the Zoning Code would not adequately address his interests. The resident argues that following Code would create a design that would not fit with the architectural style of his home. Mr. Polacek and his wife Dee were present to address the Commissioners. They explained their reasoning for wanting a front porch and how it would affect things. Motion by Schiferl, Seconded by Jim O’Brien , to ask the Council to direct staff to examine changing code to allow porches that stay open, with the idea of enhancing community.
