Kerry H. Butler, Jr., Petitioner
Mr. Duke introduced the request for a variance to allow a carport to encroach 24’ into the required 40’
rear yard setback on the property at 132 Scott Lane.
Kerry Butler, petitioner, along with his representative, Robby Anderson, presented the request to place
an attached carport in the rear yard on property at 132 Scott Lane. Mr. Butler stated that the house sits
on a corner lot and the side yard has the same setback requirements as the front yard. He stated that a
detached carport would not have an encroachment violation, but he wants an attached carport.
Mr. Anderson stated that Mr. Butler is his relative and he assisted with the drawings. He stated that
the roofline of the carport will have the same pitch as the existing home.
Mr. Butler stated that water flow will run as it currently flows. He stated that the property is located
on a corner lot and an attached structure is more aesthetically pleasing to the neighborhood.
Chairman Jamieson opened the public hearing.
Larry Youngblood, 141 Scott Lane, was not opposed to structure as presented.
After no further comments, the public hearing was closed.
Chairman Jamieson opened discussion for the board. He stated that there was no defined hardship.

Page 2 of 3
Mr. Duke stated that the petitioner cited in his application a stated hardship being constructed on a
corner lot. He stated that the additional setback required eliminates use of a good bit of his lot.
Mr. Anderson stated that the proposed carport will be nice and within character of the neighborhood.
It will be located behind the existing gate; only the roof will be seen.
Mr. Butler stated that they wanted to maintain a continuous roof line to make it aesthetically pleasing.
There being no further discussion from the board, the vote was called. Mr. Crosby moved to establish
the findings of fact stating 1) that granting of a variance is in harmony with the intent and purposes of
the zoning ordinance and 2) that a variance will not adversely affect the surrounding property, the
general neighborhood, or the community as a whole and 3) that the special conditions and
circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant. Mrs. Schannep seconded the motion.
The motion to approve the findings of fact passed unanimously.
The vote was called. Mr. Parker moved to approve the request as submitted based on the approved
findings of fact contingent the carport is not to be enclosed without BZA approval. Mr. Crosby
seconded the motion.

yard setback on property at 132 Scott Lane with contingency.

west side yard was granted in 1994.

lands, structures, or buildings in the same district; and 2) that the special conditions and circumstances
do not result from actions of the applicant (self-imposed hardship). Mrs. Schannep seconded the
motion.
