Discussion
Director Simmons provided background on the proposed ordinance.
Trustee Cosler asked if both of the proposed residences could be shifted to the west in order to even out the proposed side yard setback distances. Trustee Cosler stated shifting the current proposed residences westward would create side setbacks that are more consistent with other homes in the area.
Mayor Kownick asked if the proposed front yard setback of 28 feet was due to the existing tree canopy of the lot. Director Simmons stated the tree canopy is a factor in the proposed 28-foot setback and is relatively similar to setbacks to other homes in the area.
