Dear Mr. Mechanick and Mr. lute:
i am writing you with regards to my review of the abov&-referenced project and to document the recent
conversations between Larry CIute and Laura Moore of my office_
Upon my review 1 find that your proposal wi11 require an Area Variance. An Area Variance is needed as
the proposal calls for construction of a garage addition and porch addition which will not meet the
minirnum property line setback requirements for the Moderate Density residential: (MDR) district,
I understand that you have submitted the necessary application materials for review by the Zoning 9card
of Appeals. As such, this letter will serve as the necessary denial letter for the processing of your
application,
Should you have any questions or comments regarding your application, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
S. ely,
Craig Brown
Zoning Administrator
