to allow the extension of the primary structure into the rear yard setback reducing
the setback to no less than 14-feet.

reasonable. The reduction of the rear yard area for the covered patio structure is
similar to development patterns in the area. Staff believes that the requested
variance will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
