BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The owner and petitioner, Brett Fessler, is proposing to deviate from the 35' platted building line in order to construct a front porch at 330 S. Wright Street. The property is currently zoned R1B (Medium Density Single-Family Residence District) and was recorded as Lot 24 in Block 3 of Arthur T.
