What is the name of your state?Kentucky
I own 2 lots on a cul-de-sac that are adjacent to one another in a subdivision developed in 1950. One lot is about 2/3 acre with approximately 120 foot front. The other is 2.6 acres with a front of 59 feet. These are original lot lines. In 1986 zoning restrictions were amended such that you had to 60 front feet on a cul-de-sac to be a conforming lot. We have now built a house on the smaller lot. We have a purchase contract on the house. The buyer wanted the sideentry driveway a little wider. We poured the driveway and encroaches about 4 feet on the front lot line onto our other lot. We did not think this a problem since we owned both lots. We thought we could simply move the line or give an easement for the driveway. By granting an easement will I have to ask for a variance when I build on the other lot because of the 6o foot front?
