• 230 Jefferson (South 1/2 of Lts. 1 & 2) Single family home (bayfront lots) • Rear setback: Approximately 5 feet 230B Jefferson (Lt. 3) Commercial building (Crow's Nest Art Gallery) Rear setback: Approximately 0 feet 219 Sylvan (Lts. 13 & 14) Single family home (bayfront lots) Rear setback: Approximately 3 feet 217 Sylvan (Lt. 15) Single family home Rear setback: Approximately 7 feet Please note the rear setbacks given for the four above listed structures are approximations. The figures listed were established by scaling from a topographic map and a visual field inspection. Property and right of way boundaries are not clearly defined in this neighborhood. Exact figures were therefore impossible to establish without surveying all of the referenced properties. However, even allowing for a relatively large margin of error, it is clear that the rear setbacks of the four listed structures do not meet current ordinance requirements. This request therefore satisfies the requirements of Section 11- 605.2.b.2. The other factors to be considered by the Board when considering a special exception request are specified by Section 11-605.2.. This section states: The term "special exception" shall mean a deviation from the requirements of the above Zoning Ordinance, specifically enumerated herein which shall be granted...only when the Board finds that such special exception will not adversely affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring property or be contrary to the best public interest. It is the charge to the Board to determine, based on testimony from the applicants and concerned citizens, what impact this request will have on the use~and value of neighboring property and the "best public interest." CONCLUSION' This application meets the prerequisites of Section 11-605.2.b.2 and is therefore eligible to be considered for the requested special exception. • -2-
