Findina: The subject property consists of a single family residence on an extremely small lot, 40 feet feet containing 1,840 square feet. The lot is nonconforming for lot size and width since the code requires a minimum of fifty feet of width and 5000 feet of lot area. by 46 square Since this property is nonconforming in so many ways, it is difficult to make a determination as to the yard orientations; however, the zoning code defines front yard as the space exteriding across the width of the lot; therefore, the narth side of the existing house t�hich faces the alley is considered the front yard of this property. The existing structure is nonconforming for front yard setback (north) which is zei-o feet rather than the twenty feet reqLired by code and for sicie yard setback which is approximately four feet on one sidP (west) and one foot on the other (east) instead of the five feet required by code.
