Maybe you have already done this. What I did when I bought my home, as we wanted a pool, we had T&D come before we completed the P&S and actually draw out where we could put the pool, how far each direction we could go, what options as a variance, (and they can happen up to 2.5 feet on our corner lot), and allowed that to be our final purchase decision. We were fortunate in that we could build a pool and birdcage the size and placement we wanted with a very small (less then 10 square feet) variance on one corner. T&D committed that they could get that variance and they did. And some of it came from that 20 feet from the corner lot side curb and most from the 10 foot rear line. So it can be done. Now it probably helped my application that T&D is owned by the developer, but they also build lanai's so might want to check. And I also highly recommend them as they did an outstanding job with all aspects of the pool and birdcage build. And I have no facts to back this up, but the person who did the measuring and made the commitment told me they get that 2.5 extra feet almost every time they make the request. And T&D was more expensive then other bids I got, but I also believe worth every $$.
