A licant's Statement: The subject property is an unimproved residential lot. The applicant proposes to construct a home on this property. The small size of the lot makes it very difficult to construct a house of more than minimal size. A detached two car garage will occupy the rear portion of the lot. This structure will use more than 30% of the rear 25 feet of the lot and will require a variance. The garage will be entered from Van Buren Street. There will be 26 feet between the curb on this street and the garage door. This should be sufficient for maneuvering of the vehicles. There is a problem with side yard setback because a portion of the lot has been lost in adverse possession. This too will require a variance. The main body of the July 29, 1996 Item No.: 3 (Cont.)

The applicant is presently obtaining permission from all utility agencies for this intrusion.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (JULY 29, 1996) Staff reported to the Board that Mr. Nolan Rushing, the applicant, in this instance has withdrawn his application from further consideration. The withdrawal is due to Mr. Rushing downsizing the structure in a way that it now meets the setback requirements on the lot. Oa
