tyburg –
there are many exceptions to the basic 30′ rear yard, including but not limited too
– corner lots (or within 100′ of corners) – this one should be obvious
– lots less than 70′ deep
– through lots…ie lots that span street to street…
Looks like a through lot and complying as of right…
So, the building itself is basically adjacent to the neighbors’ BACK gardens?!? Why is that acceptable? I’m not sure how this fulfills the basics of the zoning requirements…
I buy a house with a back yard. All of my neighbors have back yards so it all airy and open in the back… then a huge building creates a 50-foot WALL on one side of my yard?!
Seems like someone received a bribe.
