The footprint of the structure cannot go any closer than the original building pad to the lot line as per the approved plans. It is being expanded toward the road and interior of Bill's lot according to the mitigation plan. We can do an on-site if you like, but there is no need for a variance based on county General and Riverway ordinances.
