-14- the 10 foot side yard setback. They plan to grant an easement to the Dehen's to trespass onto their property when it is necessary to do so in order to conduct maintenance activities on the north wall or roof of the garage. Therefore, the Dehen's need a variance for a zero setback on the north side yard. The nearest structure on the Miller property is a detached garage that is approximately 23 feet away from the Dehen's proposed new garage. The Dehen's septic system is not in conformance with current standards. It is also located less than 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark and this is in violation of the Mississippi Critical River~;~andards. The Dehen's would like to abandon tkis system and build a new one between th~h~se and road. The new septic tank must be 50 feet h'om the water well. In order to mee~:Tthis:requirement, a 5 foot variance to the 10 foot setback from buildings is necessary.
