A-26-01 Jacobs front setback variance

Description

The Jacobs family asked to build a single-family home with a deck 10 feet from the front property line instead of the required 25 feet, on a 0.141-acre lot on N. Bay Drive near Kitts Hummock. Staff recommended approval, pointing to similar variances granted next door and nearby.

Impact summary

If granted, a new house would sit in line with neighboring homes on the narrow lots along N. Bay Drive; no objections were on file.
