Front Yard Setback Variance at 3244 New Lynnview Drive
Variance approved for River City Housing to construct a new single-family residence with a front yard setback of 61.08 feet instead of the required 47-48 feet infill setback, a variance of 13.08 feet. The variance was necessary due to the irregular property line configuration and to match adjacent home setbacks.
