Please amend the Site Plan so those two line up, or seek an additional variance for front setback. Responded by: Andrew Wert - 5/8/25 10:22 AM The garage is existing and does line up with the front face of the house. Resolved 4 1 Planning & Zoning Angie Conn 4/29/25 11:39 AM Comment Please label how many feet away from the utility strip the proposed garage will be. Responded by: Andrew Wert - 5/8/25 10:24 AM I believe this issue is resolved in that the garage is existing.
