Due to peculiar conditions of design and construction in historic neighborhoods where buildings and structures are often built close to the lot lines, it is in the public interest to retain a neighborhood’s historic appearance by granting variances to normal yard requirements, where appropriate and where it is deemed that such a variance will not adversely affect neighboring properties.  The BAR may recommend to the Board of Zoning Appeals that such variance to standard yard requirements be made.
