17.20.040   Front yard requirements-Carport.
   A.   There shall be a front yard having a depth of not less than twenty-five feet from the property line, to include dedicated public right-of-ways and easements, unless forty percent or more of the frontage on one side of the street between two intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have observed a front yard line having a variation in depth of not more than ten feet, in which case no building shall project beyond the average front yard so established, but this regulation shall not be interpreted to require a front yard of more than thirty-five feet. Where lots have double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets.
   B.   A carport no larger than seven hundred twenty square feet may be added and attached to the structure, but only if it meets the following:
      1.   It must not have walls or doors interfering with vision.
      2.   It must have its roof supported in conformance with the state building code as modified from time to time.
      3.   It must be constructed of metal, wood or concrete of such design and size as to adequately and safely support the structure.
In no event shall it contain plastic materials.
      4.   Ingress and egress must be assured by a concrete driveway the width of the carport.
      5.   The front yard must be a depth of at least five feet from the property line, to include dedicated public right-of-ways and easements, before reaching the area immediately below the roof of the carport.
