SWEARING IN OF WITNESSES
PUBLIC HEARING
1) File 625-BA: Request for a variance to the minimum rear yard building setback from 15' to 13.14'.
Location: 1750 Meadow Run
Applicant: Kinsmen Homes, LLC
Mr. Richardson presented the staff report. Brandon Geis, representing Kinsman Homes, states that
the bay window on the rear of the house was inadvertently placed 1.86' beyond the rear building
setback line. When the house was being laid out, the surveyor measured to the main body of the
house and not to the rear most bay window to verify compliance with the rear building line.
Mr. Geis says that the house is approximately 60% complete and all other remedies to correct the
issue would adversely affect the existing foundation and structure.
