Mr. Dougherty is requesting a variance of two (2) feet on the rear and six (6) on the front. Mr. Dougherty was able to obtain a building permit and ready the site for the proposed construction. When he called for a footing inspection it was determined that he was too close to the side property line. Thus the variance request. Neighborhood input has indicated the neighbors are not opposed to the construction. The Planning and Zoning Board has recommended approval. There are no sight problems with the construction.
