Description of the Request: “Applicant is requesting a 19 foot variance from the required 40 foot front yard setback in order for the structure to be 21 feet from the East property line.” The staff is recommending approval of the 32 foot variance request as it will have no adverse effect on surround properties. Respectfully submitted by Valerie Ogle  The staff is also recommending disapproval of the 19 foot variance request as the request does not meet the requirements of the current zoning ordinance and hardship is considered to be self-imposed.
