The subject residence is a zero lot-line attached single family residence. The amount of private yard area is currently limited to a small patio off the master bedroom. Due to the configuration of the lot and placement of the structure, there is very little private yard area. Furthermore, the existing private yard area is not accessible to the main living area of the unit. To enjoy a reasonably sized private yard area, new fencing must encroach into required front and street side yard setback areas. . This variance is in substantial conformance with the intent and purpose of the P-l; Planned Unit Development District in which the subject property is located since the variance allows for reasonable expansion of the private yard area for the subject single family residence.
