1. The approved setbacks of 25' front yard, 8' side yard and 25' rear yard are consistent with the required setbacks for the adjoining units of the subdivision.
2. Units 1 and 2 of the subdivision, having wider lots, have been developed with residences having side loaded garages creating greater distances between residences. With the narrower lots in Unit 3, the opportunity for side load garages is greatly reduced and a reduced side yard setback will create a more dense development that is not in keeping with the first two units of the subdivision.
3. The reduction of the front yard setback will also add to the denser appearance of this unit of the subdivision.
