FILE 328-BA. Request for a variance to reduce the required front
yard of a commercial lot from 20-feet to 12.5 feet at 2870 Wall
Street.
The staff recommended approval was based on: 1) granting the
variance would not be contrary to the public interest, 2) the
literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary
hardship as related to the ordinance, and 3) by granting the
variance, the spirit of the ordinance would be observed and
substantial justice would be done.
