NO.., ,
B. The former detached garage was located 1'2" from the side lot line and
the new structure will be located 10'.
C. The proposed improvement will result in a reduction of hardcover.

serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a

right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
