#26-21 - Leppla new single-family home

Description

A variance to build a new single-family home with reduced side setbacks, keeping the existing home's footprint, on a lot where the current house is in severe disrepair.

Impact summary

The new home stays close to the existing footprint, improves the front setback, and its supporters say it will lift property values on the street — though the boundary dispute could alter the final design.
