The property is approximately 0.28 acre in area and 49.75 feet in width. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application an April 16, 2007 and on a vote of 5 - 1 recommended approval of the variances, based on the following findings: a.

The property has two 0 to 75 foot zones. Without a hardcover variance for the.south 0 to 75 foot zone it would be impossible to access the property. 4.
