The application's description as it appears in City of Nampa's record. See the official record

The owner of a home at 520 W Bayhill Dr. in Nampa wants to build a 50-foot-long, 16-foot-high RV garage along the west property line, next to the existing garage. This requires a variance from the 5-foot side setback and the vacation of a 5-by-50-foot (250 sq. ft.) strip of public utility easement. The neighbor to the west, the Bayhill architectural committee, and utility providers support or do not object to the request.

Place 20' X 50' RV garage at the end of the existing driveway, on WSW property line and into easement.
