a 35 ft. front yard setback and 25 ft. back yard setback. He stated that the request by the petitioner is for a 28 ft. front yard setback and a 20 ft. back yard setback with 15 ft.
side setbacks. He further related the request to waive the parking requirements from 1 1/2 spaces to 1 space per unit, noting that the proposed residents do not drive.
It was related by both Commissioner Boroughs and City Engineer Reel that this type of construction rarely has any vehicles on the property.
In response to a question from Commissioner Boroughs regarding corner lot setbacks, City Engineer Reel related that subdivision regulations were established to lend a more spacious appearance
within subdivisions, adding that a lesser setback has not as yet presented a problem with visibility. It was noted by City Engineer Reel that the proposed side yard setbacks meet with
the zoned requirements. He then related that the primary direction the building faces is considered the front yard setback.
