The property is surrounded on three sides by right- <br />of-way and on the north by a large occupied tract. If Linden Avenue <br />is considered as the front, the lot exceeds the minimum width <br />requirement. Setbacks for the property would be 35' from 3 <br />dedicated roads and 10* from the north line. This leaves a building <br />envelope 180' wide ranging from 33' to 60' deep, which should be <br />suitable for construction of a single family home without the need for <br />additional variances. <br />The 4 lots have each been assessed 1/4 unit for sewer, and a <br />sewer stub is available. <br />Development on the property will not change the existing drainage <br />pattern in the neighborhood. However, the approval should be <br />conditioned on no obstruction of existing drainageway from the north <br />through the rear of the property. <br />^0. <br />A <br />m
