Minimum lot area - 21,780 Sq. Ft.
Minimum width of lot - 120 ft.

The proposed garage addition - 12' 0" D x 21' 6" W - 258 Sq. Ft., in front of the existing garage, would provide a front yard setback of twenty four (24) feet, six (6) inches. The applicant is requesting a variance for the front yard setback of ten (10) feet, six (6) inches to allow for the proposed garage addition. 

Bob Welcker of Well-Mor Contracting addressed the Board and answered questions.

Moved by Mr. Levengood, supported by Mr. Griffith, that Application No. 1310, Well-Mor Contracting, for a variance for the front yard setback of ten (10) feet, six (6) inches at 10127 Red Maple Drive be denied because of the potential of setting a precedent which could create future problems, plus it is totally out of the jurisdiction of the Board to make these kind of changes in light of there being no hardship presented to require a modification. 

Ayes all.
