Upon my review, I find that your proposal will require an Area Variance should you wish to construct the attached garage as proposed. Specifically, an Area Variance is required as the proposed garage does not meet the minimum setback requirements for the MDR zoning district. I understand that you have compiled or may be compiling the necessary application. This letter serves as the required denial letter for the processing of your application package. Should you have any questions or comments regarding your application, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
