Board grants variance for carport at 1037 Greenview Drive
Summary
A previously tabled variance to reduce an accessory-structure setback from 5 to 2.5 feet for a carport at 1037 Greenview Drive was approved after the applicant described site constraints (underground power lines) and staff reported no concerns.
The Danville Board of Adjustments approved a variance allowing a carport-style covering at 1037 Greenview Drive to sit 2.5 feet from the west property line rather than the five feet required in R‑1A zoning.
The item had been tabled previously and was formally untabled at the start of the discussion. Planning staff described the lot as fronting on Greenview Drive, a dead-end road off North Hillandale Street, and said the requested reduction from a five-foot setback to 2.5 feet would allow an awning/carport over the driveway; staff reported no concerns.
The applicant identified himself on the record as Alfred Coquaro and said he planned the carport over an existing slab adjacent to the house. "Looking to do the carport just on this slab right here on the driveway adjacent to the house," he said, and added that a tree near the trash-bin area had been removed and that underground power lines farther back on the lot limit placement of a structure farther rearward.
No public opposition appeared at the hearing. A board member commented there appeared to be no adverse effects to neighbors and the board moved to approve the variance; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board approved the variance without additional conditions.
The agenda listed the applicant earlier as "Alfred Pacarro"; the applicant identified himself in the meeting as Alfred Coquaro. The board did not record any further conditions or follow-up reporting requirements on the variance.
