There are two adjacent residential properties. Neither of the buildings would be fully visible to adjacent properties, and would not be visible to the propert)’ to the south based on the mature trees between the lots. The house, across Orchard Park Road, is blocked from view to much of the applicant s property by mature trees along the road. B.Relocating the garage to another portion of the property would not be possible without replacing the septic system, which is depicted on the site survey.

Additional testing has been completed to locate a future primar)* and secondary’ site on the west side of the propert)’. Staff has confirmed the location of the septic tanks and drainfield restrict the property from allowing construction of a pole bom behind the house.
