Tract #27 FINDINGS: The now frontage of E'ly 601 of Lot 4 on Old County Road is adjacent to a 3 foot existing setback; therefore, the 10' frontage proposed herein improves the setback condition. The rear yard butts against the rear of another reversed frontage lot facing Clay St. and neither property will require an alley. Therefore, a 51 rear yard setback will allow a greater use of the property. The requirement of a 201 setback for a distance of 201 at the rear sideyard is not needed to pro*eot the adjacent reverse frontage lot. thus, a sideyard setback of 41 along Catalina Dr* would allay an improved use of the property and not impair adjacent property.
