Lovvorn, Petitioner Mr. Duke introduced the request for a variance to add an attached carport cover on the property at 818 Deramus Street. He stated the property is zoned R-2 and requires a 10 foot side yard setback. He stated that the proposed 18 feet wide carport, as proposed in the applicant’s drawing, would require a 6 foot variance instead of a 3 foot variance, but regardless of the amount needed a variance is required for the carport to be placed. Nancy Lovvorn, petitioner, presented the request to place a carport over the driveway on property at 818 Deramus Street. She stated that she inquired with the contractor about building the proposed carport and found that the structure would violate zoning code setback requirements. She stated that the concrete is slippery when it gets wet. She also stated that she has special needs and the carport would assist in her getting in and out of her vehicle during inclement weather. Ben Stotlzfus of Aluminum Fabricators, petitioner’s representative, stated that he measured the property line by the existing fence. He stated that the proposed carport will be 14 feet wide (14’x18’). He also stated that the water would drain as it currently does. Chairman Jamieson opened the public hearing. The following comments were in favor of the request. Jeanette Hollon, 819 Deramus Street and James Stewart, 900 Deramus Street. After no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Chairman Jamieson opened discussion for the board. There being no further discussion from the Approved 5/8/18 Prattville Board of Zoning Adjustment April 10, 2018 Minutes Page 2 of 2 board, the vote was called.
