There have been similar variances approved in this area of Billings.  The applicant is requesting the variance in order to add additional garage space to the lot.  If approved, this would allow a rear setback of 4 feet.  This particular parcel is an irregular shape.
 

Planning staff has reviewed this application and is forwarding a recommendation of conditional approval for the variance based on the determinations for review provided within this report.
