The rear <br />yard is defined as the yard on the east side of the proposed building. <br />A hardship is demonstrated as a result of the requirement to front <br />the building on County Road I in addition to the required setback of <br />44 feet on the Greenwood Drive side, which is much in excess of the <br />• 30 feet normally required for corner lots; <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, based upon proposed zero lot line <br />standards, that the granting of this 6.5 rear yard setback variance <br />
