MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 9, 2015 conformities that exist with the property at 3088 LaBore Road. Duray noted that the lot at 3088 LaBore Road will only have 67 feet of frontage even after the 15 feet is added. The Planner stated that that is correct, but noted that the property would have conforming width at the building setback line. Duray noted the comment in the Planner's report relative to the garage setback at 3100 LaBore Road. The Planner indicated that whether this setback is 30 or 35 feet, it will still be conforming as the required setback is 10 feet. The Planner noted that as part of finalizing the lot split/combination, the property owners will have to have the property surveyed and new legal descriptions written for recording purposes. That will clarify the garage setback for 3100 LaBore Road. Davison noted that there is always a margin of error associated with GIS dimensions. The Planner agreed, and again noted that the setbacks are approximate until the survey work is completed. Buesing asked about the non -conformities that exist at 3088 LaBore Road. The Planner estimated that the homes on these two lots were built in the 1930's or 1940's before the City has zoning rules in place.
