homes in the neighborhood were set back far less than the 30-feet prescribed in the
current ordinance. Mr. Williams noted that the Board had previously approved the
request at the last meeting, but due to a technicality on the application and News
Notice, it was being brought back.

located at 4452 Timber Crest Court, and seven-feet (7') for the sub-division entry sign at
