1119 Medary Avenue South Rear Yard Setback Variance
Description
Replacing a detached garage with an attached garage 22 feet 9 inches from the rear lot line, versus the 25-foot requirement, on a uniquely shaped 1889 farmstead lot.
Impact summary
The new garage sits farther from the property line than the old one and lowers the roofline, so neighbors actually gain sky view.
