Mr. Lyden asked Mr. Lee if he has discussed this variance application with his neighbor to the south. Mr. Lee stated he has not discussed this application with his neighbor to the south because there are currently no structures near his southern property line. Mr. Lyden questioned how close the nearest structure is to Mr. Lee's southern property line. Mr. Lee estimated that the nearest structure is 1,000 feet from his southern property line.
