The Ann Arbor Township Zoning Board of Appeals will hold two public hearings on Tuesday December 16 to receive public input to consider variance requests:
A.

Maple Rd., Ann Arbor Township, Michigan, 48103, parcel number I-09-18-231-009. The applicant is seeking a variance from the following ordinance requirements:
1) Schedule of area, placement and height regulation requirements in Sec. 74-502 of the Zoning Ordinance. They are proposing to build a 54 s.f. addition approximately 12.8 feet from the side property line, when the ordinance requires a minimum setback of 20 feet.
2) Setbacks on arterial roads in Sec. 74-595 of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed bump-out will be located 86.67 feet from the centerline of N. Maple Rd.
