Title
Use Permit by Mellen Street Properties LLC to Allow for a Proposed Boundary Line Adjustment at 110 E Mellen Street [LRSN: 12001341] and 118 E Mellen Street [LRSN: 12001340]

Background Statement:
Use Permit Application by Mellen Street Properties LLC is a request to permit a boundary line adjustment through the process outlined in the City of Hampton Zoning Ordinance Section 8-63 (3)(h) at 110 and 118 E Mellen Street.
