Also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment into the neighbors front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: The appearance of the house will be greatly improved by this decorative brick front. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The proposed addition of the front porch is enclosed sufficiently to consider it part of the house structure.
