Variance sought to build a single-family home on a 0.4-acre flag lot
Owners want to keep the lot split off a larger property intact and build a home of about 1,600 to 2,400 square feet, possibly with a 600-square-foot accessory unit later. The request has not yet been scheduled for a City Council hearing.
