Application #03-2863 is for two variances, lot area and lot coverage by structures. The <br />proposed structure was above the allowed 15% lot coverage by structures for new construction. The <br />Planning Commission approved the lot area variance, but denied the lot coverage by structures <br />variance. <br />I he application was then heard by the City Council at its February 24, 2003 meeting.

Vacating the adjacent alley is the direction the applicant wished to pursue. <br />Application #02-2863 was tabled in order for the vacation application to be acted on. <br />ti():-2M74 KwhardKml <br />J7SS Casco Avenue <br />t 'acation <br />S'!2/0i <br />Yiige ! of 2
