Covered porch variance coming — 3676 Farley Court

Reviewed Jul 27 · outcome not yet confirmed

Every project links to the city packet it came from.

A variance is under review to allow a proposed 108 square foot attached covered porch to encroach 5 feet 8 inches into the required 30-foot rear yard setback at 3676 Farley Court. The associated patio pavers would encroach 9 feet, which is permitted by code. The current patio extension and associated improvements for the outdoor living space are part of this project.

What happened

The Board of Zoning Appeals is reviewing a variance request for a proposed attached covered porch and patio extension at 3676 Farley Court. The covered porch would encroach into the rear yard setback, while the patio pavers would also extend into the setback.

Why it matters

If approved, this variance would allow for the construction of a new covered porch and patio. This implies work for residential general contractors, rough carpenters for framing the porch, concrete flatwork for the patio pavers, and potential roofing and painting for the porch structure.

Timing

This is an agenda item for review, meaning the project is in the early stages of municipal approval. Construction would likely proceed after variance approval and subsequent permitting.
