B. The Planning Commission recognizes that the original city lots in the city are small and may restrict homeowners who seek to maintain and improve a house built before the establishment of the current minimum setbacks. The Zoning Administrator can approve building permits for projects that infringe on the front setback requirements as long as the approval: 1. Is not inconsistent with the density and coverages of the immediate neighborhood and the setback of adjacent homes. 2. Maintains clear vision areas. 3. Does not create a safety hazard. 4. Does not extend roof lines further into the front yard setback. | ||||||
