The Subject Property is currently a <br />vacant lot on Lake Johanna. The former owners demolished the existing house on 3244 Sandeen <br />Road prior to selling the property to the current owner. The current owners previously received <br />approval to build a single family home with a 30 foot front setback. At its January 27, 2020 <br />meeting, the City Council approved a 10 foot front yard setback variance for the subject property. <br />
