A setback of 40-feet is required from any right-of-way line on the above mentioned lot. The petitioner seeks a

but is dependent on utility infrastructure of the primary residence. Access to this wing or area
may be obtained via one door to the outside and a second non-lockable door or passage way
to the main portion of the host residence. Access is permitted to a garage area having no
service door. (Ord. #947 - 10-02-97)
All such requests are subject to building, site, and operational plan approval of the Plan
Commission following written notice being distributed by the Plan Commission to neighboring
property owners within 100 feet of the subject property. (Ord. #947 - 10-02-97)
An 800 square foot size limit is placed upon Mother-in-Law/Family Units. The petitioner seeks a 1,200 square foot
