Access through adjacent lot
NO - The project includes an architecturally desirable home with substantial landscaping and stormwater management along
with a sanitary holding tank, all of which are beneficial to the neighborhood.
NO - Its beneficial to eliminate a curb-cut and the guest house size and location are appropriate for the lot size and
configuration.
