Additionally, we are in receipt of Greenway Engineering's ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey for All Points Warehousing, Cole Lane, dated December 19, 2007. In reviewing the survey, there appears to be a few building setback issues that affect the existing buildings. Below is an overview of the issues identified by the ALTA survey, and the corresponding resolution. Resolution of the issues is overcome by one of two measures: (1) grandfathered status (legally nonconforming) based on previously approved Site Plan #15-82 (September 16, 1982), and its revision (September 12, 1983); or (2) acquisition of a variance from Board of Zoning Appeals. The Site Plan approved September 16, 1982 established a 37 foot building setback from the Cole Lane right-of-way. The revised Site Plan approved September 12, 1983, established the northern boundary setbacks of 16 feet, and the eastern boundary setbacks of 15 feet. 167 Cole Lane. Road setback is legally nonconforming based on Site Plan #15-82. 185 Cole Lane. Road setback is legally nonconforming based on Site Plan #15-82. Additionally, via Zoning Administrator interpretation, it has been determined that the encroachment is appropriate. 193 Cole Lane. Northern and Eastern property line set is legally nonconforming based on revised Site Plan #15-82 (revised 9/12/1983). Western property line setback violation may be resolved with a Lot Consolidation or a variance obtained from the Board of Zoning Appeals. 187, 189, and 191 Cole Lane.
