BRUCE B. TAIT - SETBACK VARIANCE at 306 INDEPENDENCE
Mr. Tait came before the Board requesting a variance on the
side and rear setback of his property. He wishes to make
his present garage into a bedroom and to place a detached
garage with a game room above it on the back corner of his
property. This would require a 2' variance at the side
and 17' at the rear. -
The Board asked Mr. - Tait his reason for presenting a hardship
He stated if the structure was placed giving the proper setbacks
by ordinance, it would destroy his back yard and would distract
from his property. Mr. Tait had obtained a letter of agreement
from all of the ajoining property owners.

variance to grant. They also felt a two story structure would
present problems and be imposing from the surrounding neighbors.

at 306 Independence granting a variance of 2' at the
side and 17' at the rear.
