Section 75, Block 1, Lot 11A Zone: R5

Application for: An area variance to permit a side yard setback of 2 feet where a minimum of 8 feet is required, a deficiency of 6 feet or 75 percent. At a meeting on June 22, 2005, the applicant received site plan and architectural review approval for additions and alterations to an existing single-family residence that was legally non-conforming with regard to the side yard setback. The applicant was permitted to maintain the non-conforming setback since the drawings indicated that a minimum of 50 percent of the volume of the existing structure above the foundation would be maintained, in accordance with Section 6.E.2 of the Zoning Law. However, structural problems were discovered during construction making preservation of the existing walls difficult. Public hearing.

Section 66K, Block 1, Lot 141 Zone: R5
