'F Item No.: 1 (Cont.
Short of removing the corner of the existing structure,
obtaining the building line variance is the only option.
Staff believes the applicant has presented adequate
justification for granting the variance. If the building
line variance is approved, the applicant will have to do a
one lot replat to reflect the change approved by the Board.
The applicant should review the filing procedure with the
Circuit Clerk to determine if the replat requires a revised
Bill of Assurance.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line
variance subject to a one lot replat of the property,
reflecting the change in the building line as approved by
the Board.
