The project site is located in an area with a varied mix of architectural styles. The bulk, massing and height of residences vary widely, ranging between single and two-story residences. The proposed structure incorporates features common in the neighborhood such as compatible roof forms and pitches. The building is set back 11 feet 10 inches from the rear property line where 10 feet is required, five feet from the right side yard property line and 24 feet from the left side property line where five feet is required, and is approximately 73 feet from the front property line, where 20 feet is required.
