The west side of this lot faces a street that terminates north of the proposed addition and only one other home is located
off that portion of the dead-end street. The addition will add additional garage and living space to the home and will
match the existing architecture. The variance should not have a negative effect on surrounding properties. The proposed
setback of 20 feet will meet the setback of a side yard. The Department is in support of these variances.
