shed. The sketch plan was reviewed on 3/19/96.

acre will be met by both lots.
The minimum frontage requirement of 170 feet will be met by both
lots.
5. Coverage/setbacks: Lot A: Building coverage is 9.7% (maximum
allowed is 15%). Overall coverage is 11% (maximum allowed is 25%).
All existing structures will meet the setback requirements from the

street improvements as previously recommended by the City Engineer.
The applicant should submit the legal documents (i.e., Irrevocable
