However, subject property line at the street is 50.03' wide at the front proerty line and 49.82' wide at the rear property line. Therefore, without a variance, ____________________________________________________________________________ subject property can only contain one primary residence and one secondary residence on a half ____________________________________________________________________________ acre, a density that is 1/4 of what is permitted and contemplated by the LDC. ____________________________________________________________________________ a) b) ____________________________________________________________________________ Subject property is the narrowest property of its size in the vicinity.
