The 22 applicants (Thomas and Jennifer Gille) is requesting a variance to construct a sunroom that 23 would encroach into the required rear yard setback to result in a rear yard depth of 7’ and 5/8” 24 feet.

Mr. Larson showed an overhead map of the property and noted the setback is different 41 because it faces Skycroft Drive rather than Skycroft Circle. The neighbors to the north have 42 nearly the same addition as requested. 43 44 Mr. Gille was present but did not choose to address the Council as the presentation covered the 45 request. 46 4
