Mr. Mack stated that <br />the two properties before the board were platted with an insufficient lot depth that does not <br />require a variance, but it does not allow sufficient room for the minimum rear yard setback; <br />therefore the applicant is requesting the front yard variance so the rear yard setback can be met <br />and allow sufficient separation from neighboring properties. Lastly, staff recommends approval <br />based on the findings for both properties. <br />There was discussion amongst the board and Mr. Mack about parking requirements. <br />Ms. Alsobrook continued the public hearing. <br />
