The request seeks to reduce the setback to 5 feet from the eastern property line where a setback of 20 or 30 feet would ordinarily be required. A vegetation management easement will be granted over the adjoining parcel to allow for the maintenance of defensible space around the structure in the event of wildland fire. The parcel is currently developed with a well and septic system and an assortment of accessory structures.
