The general purpose and intent of front yard setbacks is to provide a uniform/controlled look to <br /> the front of structures.

The proposed residential use is <br /> consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 3. Building a residential home on a city approved parcel with setbacks that are more compliant then <br /> neighboring properties is using the property in a reasonable manner. <br /> 4.

No principal structure can be closer than 20 feet to the south property line. <br /> 2. An eight (8) foot tall privacy fence shall be constructed on the west property line as shown on the <br /> exhibit titled"Fence Location".
