(DENIED)

Decision: Partial Approval

Hearing: The applicant proposes to allow for the construction of a single family residence on this lot. Staff advised the BZA that this request is consistent with the development trend of the area and it would infill the community that has the infra-structure. The applicant preferred to have the setback variances but staff advised there was no reason the new home could not meet the required setbacks. The BZA agreed. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA accepted the staff recommendation of approval of variances 1 and 2 and denial of variances 3-5.
