V25-020 Public Hearing - Variance Request - V25-020 - Reduce the rear setback from 30 feet to 23.1 feet - Land Lot 382 - 756 Park Manor Drive - Adam Hoffman Ward 4 Councilmember - Charles 'Corkey' Welch Caitlin Crowe, Planner I, provided the following background for items V25-020 and V25- 021: The subject parcel is a 0.11-acre lot located on the east side of Park Manor Drive within the Sherwood Park subdivision.
