In addition, the following variances are requested in connection with the redevelopment: 2) Section 134-893(7)b): Request to raise the rear (south side) of a landmarked house with a west second story side yard setback of 3.0 feet in lieu of the 15-foot minimum required. 3) Section 134-893(9)b): Request to raise the rear (south side) of a landmarked house with a second story rear yard setback of 4.7 feet in lieu of the 15-foot minimum required. 4) Section 134-893(13): Request to raise the rear (south side) of a landmarked house, thereby increasing the cubic content ratio from 6.89 to 7.11 in lieu of the 4.39 maximum allowed. 5) Section 134-893(7)b): Request to add an awning to the house with an east side yard setback of 0.0 feet in lieu of the 12.5-foot minimum required.  [Applicant’s Representative: David E.
