Sides: 16’ Aggregate between buildings
BACKGROUND:
This townhouse is located in Beechtree. The front setback is 17 feet and the rear setback is 21.5 feet for a total aggregate setback of 38.5 feet for the structure. The required combined aggregate setback is 40 feet.

concrete patio currently exists. This 10-foot addition would be considered

A total variance of 11.5 feet into the rear setback is requested.

- The Zoning Board of Adjustment may grant
a variance which is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of
the zoning ordinance.
