Variance sought to build closer to rear lot line for home addition
A homeowner asks the Hearing Examiner for a variance to reduce the rear setback so an addition can be built on a single-family home. The 0.24-acre lot is on hillside ground, so extra drainage and geotechnical documents may be required.
