The petitioner has been informed that a verifying survey of teh existing house will be required before a building permit can be issued. If a verifying survey should show less than 5 feet of available room, an additional variance would be required..: The house to the East is 13 feet from the apparent lot line. The east wall of the proposed addition is to the rear of the neighborhing house wall. 10 APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING —JULY 19, 1977 Page 9 Vice -Chairperson Gabel brought to Mr. McKnight's attention the.notes on the Staff Report regarding his driveway.
