2. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF ALUMINUM CARPORT IN SIDE YARD
Yook Kow Fong
10555 N. E. 3rd Court
Board members reviewed the fact sheet and a plot plan as
Mr. LuBien, Building and Zoning Director, explained that the
Aluminum structure itself is in violation of Sec 225, re-
quiring masonry construction, and a 10' set back is required
by code, in this case, 0 set back is provided. A variance
to both sections is therefore required.
Mr. & Mrs. Fong explained to the Board that the aluminum
carport was purchased and assembled in 1981. They were not
aware that a permit is required, nor were they aware that the
person they contracted to assemble the carport did not obtain
a permit.
Patti Wang, serving as interpreter for Mr. & Mrs. Fong, ex-
plained that the company from which the aluminum carport was
purchased has since been bought by another company, and they
will search their records for the name of the installer.
Following discussion, Mr. Wiesen moved to disapprove the
request, seconded by Mr. Duffy, and carried unanimously.
