PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: 205.053 (0) FRONT YARD SETBACK OF NOT LESS THAN 35 FEET Public purpose served by this requirement is to allow for off-street parking without encroaching on the public right of way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard. B. STATED HARDSHIP: We request a change in the setback from front lot line to 25 feet back instead of 35 feet, in order to conform with existing homes. Also we have a hill full of storm sewers. Also to get a better back yard for new homeowners. C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: The accompanying surveys show that an average setback of 25 feet in the Pierce Street area.
