back variance and an additional living unit with regard to Lot 72,
Block 2. Mark Donaldson, representing C.J. & B Corp.presented the site
plan to the Council. He explained that the proposed building would
be comprised of 10,000 square feet of commercial space and six residential
units and that the 29 parking spaces and one loading berth as the 30th

site plan provides 20 and 25 foot setbacks from the two lot sides with
street exposure and 7-1/2 foot setbacks from the remaining two sides.
At two points the proposed building lies within the required setbacks.
