Caitlin Crowe, Planner I, provided the following background:
The applicant is requesting two variances to build a garage on the front of the home of
3463 Lee Street: to reduce to the front setback from 35 feet to 17 feet and to reduce the
side setback from 12 feet to 4.2 feet. Section 801 of the zoning ordinance requires a front
setback of 35 feet and a side setback of 12 feet for R-20 lots.
The property received approval from the License and Variance Board in February 2020 to
reduce the rear setback from 35 feet to 19 feet and reduce the side setback from 12 feet
to 9.3 feet for an addition on the rear of the property (Variance Cases V20-010 and 011).
The following year in July 2021, two additional variances were granted to reduce the front
setback from 35 feet to 23 feet and further reduce the side setback from 12 feet to 8.2 feet
