4. OBOA -11 -02 — Special Exception — Consideration and appropriate action related to a
request for approval of a special exception to allow for the construction of a carport over
an existing driveway within the front -yard setback at 11236 North 94`x' East Avenue.
Vice Chairperson Jim Bausch presented the item and Bronce reviewed the staff report.
The surrounding land use was described. The applicant seeks approval to place a carport
over the driveway. The proposed carport would be located only a few feet from the
platted right -of -way potentially creating a safety concern. No structures of any type are
allowed in any front setback in any zoning classification within the City of Owasso,
without a special exception approval. Letters were mailed to all property owners within
tbree - hundred (300) feet of the subject property and the request was advertised in the
Owasso Reporter. Staff has not received any objections. Staff has concluded that the
carport if approved has the potential to impact the public safety and general welfare of the
community. The staff recommends denial of OBOA 11 -02. The applicants Mr. and Mrs.
Brown were present to answer any questions. Mrs. Brown spoke to the Members
regarding the need for a carport. She stated that the carport would be 21' long and would
be painted the same colors as the house. She also stated that it is very difficult to shovel
snow off the driveway in the wintertime.
