Ronald Morris (owner, 2740 Bartlett Road) Request to add a garage to existing house. Lived at this residence for 30 years. Asking for a Variance and a Class A designation.
Sturdevant: House is 16 feet off rear property line, and proposed garage would be 12 feet off rear property line. Rear Yard Set Back in a C-2 zone is 35 feet. This would require a 19-foot variance for the house and a 23-foot variance for the proposed garage.
Class A designation would allow resident to rebuild a residence within the existing foot print in the commercial zoning.

Belesky: Based on the guidelines, this is an issue of a hardship with the shape of the property, as they are unable to conform to the zoning restrictions.
