Summary

David Mickler requested a variance to allow a carport at 0 feet from the front property line (25 feet required), telling the council that nearby houses have garages on the property line and submitting photos to support his request.

The council opened a public hearing on a variance application from David Mickler for a carport with a zero‑foot front‑yard setback, where the underlying requirement is 25 feet.

Mickler appeared and said he brought photos of houses in the same neighborhood that have garages on the property line and submitted the variance application. "I'm actually David Mickler. I came just to see how y'all would vote on this. I did bring some pictures of some houses in the same neighborhood that actually have garages that are sitting on the property line," he said. Mickler asked the council to consider the application based on those precedents.

Council will consider the variance application; the hearing record shows applicant testimony and submittal of supporting photos but no final council decision recorded at this meeting.
