• 2641-2651 Lovington. "An interpretation that Section 14.02 (A) of the Zoning Ordinance allows construction of a two family dwelling (duplex) on a nonconforming parcel that has less than the required width and frontage. If the interpretation is not favorable to the applicant, four variances are requested: 1) Parcel has 76 feet of width and frontage, 80 feet required. 2) Parcel is 7,220 square feet, 10,000 square feet required, 3) Total of two side yard setbacks proposed to be 14.25 feet, 15 feet required. 4) Front yard setback proposed to be 21 feet, 25 feet is required."
  
  The ZBA voted on two different resolutions on this item. First, the ZBA resolved that Section 14.02 (A) of the Zoning Ordinance does not allow construction of a two family dwelling (duplex) on a nonconforming parcel that has less than the required width and frontage. I voted yes on that resolution.
  
  Second, the ZBA then voted to deny all four of the applicant's variance requests. I voted yes on the motion to deny the variance requests.
