easement. The rear of the subject residence is a doublewide garage door, opening to a
driveway which currently measures approximately 56 feet to the alley and 37 feet to the
southern property line.
The applicant desires to extend the existing main structure by approximately twenty-
nine (29) feet. This would allow the applicant to remodel the existing garage into a
bedroom and use the added space as the new garage (keeping in conformance with
current Zoning Ordinance Section 5.2.B.9.c to provide two enclosed spaces for every
dwelling). As planned the new structure will be 8' from the rear property line, extending
17' into the required rear yard setback.
The addition will extend the existing main structure by 29', leaving 8' to the rear property
line, approximately 32% of the required setback in the ordinance.
Twenty-six notifications were mailed to surrounding property owners. Two comment
forms were received and both in favor of the request.
Vice-Chairperson Jourdan opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. and Mrs. Todd Miller, the applicants for the requested variance, were present. Mr.
Miller stated that the proposed expansion to the garage will be constructed with siding
on the sides, and the facing around the garage door will be bricks. This will match the
main structure.
_ Mrs. Miller stated that the easement in the right-of-way is a fuel easement, it is about
twenty feet from back of the proposed garage. The proposed addition would leave 28
feet to the actual alleyway.
Vice-Chairperson Jourdan closed the Public Hearing.
