We have a total of four lots in our village (not corner lots) that have frontage on two streets. One is vacant, and is of adequate size that a proposed home can meet the zoning setback distances from property lines.
The owner would like his new home to face the street where the lot has slightly less frontage than the minimum required by the zoning. The zoning law does NOT have a requirement that a house must face the street with the largest or legal frontage.
It appears that my office is able to approve the new home facing the lesser frontage street, so that the legally required frontage is at the back yard of the house, and the driveway & parking is at the front yard of the house, which is the back of the lot.
It's hard to describe, wish I could post a sketch, but I wondered..... does somebody have a similar exeprience with odd shaped lots?
