Briefly, the applicants are proposing to build a 3-season porch at the rear of their house, although the lot line adjacent to their "rear* yard is technically a side lot line. Applicants are requesting a 21' side setback v9' variance) where a 30' setback normally would be required. Also, applicants propose to construct a deck with platform height 1.5* at the southeast corner of the house. While this deck itself is a non-encroachment, they are proposing a 6 ’ high fence section for privacy above that deck, and attached to the house.
