The applicant is proposing to reduce the approved 15-ft street-side yard setback (from 43rd Avenue) down to 12 ft for a new detached accessory structure (garage). After the site plan was approved for 15 ft, the applicant’s survey showed that the lot itself was almost 3 ft narrower than previously understood. The site is a corner lot (43rd Ave & Logus Rd) developed with a single-unit dwelling. The new garage is part of an overall renovation of the existing house and property.
