recommendation
I move the City Council authorize the Mayor to send correspondence to the Prince George's County Board of Zoning appeals regarding V-85-21, the subject property located at 4910 41st Place Hyattsville. The correspondence to the BZA shall state:
* The City supports the applicant's variance request of 7 feet front building line width as this is an existing condition that cannot feasibly be altered;

The applicant can reasonably alter their design to increase the side yard width. The City recommends the applicant construct a second-story addition flush to the existing garage, 5.1' from the property line.
