Commercial building near sewer easement at 551 E 6th Street

Summary

A variance lets a 5,000-square-foot shell building sit 25 feet back from the street because a city sewer line and easement run across the front of the lot. The applicant promised the board it won't be a bar or an expansion of the neighboring liquor store.
