Should the home on the westerii lot (4731) be moved closer to tlie Cotulty road to <br /> allow for a reorientation of the driveway? � <br /> 4. Would the Planning Conuilission consider allowing a decreased setback to the <br /> Counfy road for the western home iii order to eliminate the bluff setback <br /> encroaclunents? <br /> 5. Is there sufficieiit justification for the reqixested hardcover and setback variatices? <br /> 6. Are there any issues or concei7ls with this application? <br /> Staff Recommendation � <br /> If the Plaiuung Comnlission concludes tli�t approval of the application is appropriate, it <br /> should be conditioned on at least ihe following: <br /> l.
