The property is approximately 1.3 acres in size and is zoned Residential. There <br /> currently are existing structures on the property including a house, a detached garage, and a shed. <br /> The proposed subdivision would bring the Stangler structures into conformity by providing <br /> additional land on the west side of the house so that the structures do not encroach on the rear <br /> yard setback.
