Plarurlng File 1141 - Gary Hill request for variance to front yard setback at 1992 Cleveland Avenue Presentation Mr. Dahlgren stated that the applicant proposes to construct a two stall garage within 30 feet of the easterly right-of-way line of Cleveland Avenue. He stated that tleminimum setback in this area was 40 feet. In addition, he noted that Cleveland Avenue is ultimately planned by the County to require additional 16.5 feet of right-of-way and thus if approved the applicant's garage would be located wi thin l~ feet of the new right-of-way line.
