This application involved the construction of an attached garage on the north side of his lot which would be built up to three feet of his north lot line, The Planning Commission considered the application incomplete and did not consider it because no permission from the neighbor to the north was submitted. Since that time, hir. Helms has indicated a desire to change his plans and now wishes consideration for a detached garage to be built four feet to the rear of his residence and he requests a variance to allow him to build this detached garage within 1~ feet of the same north property line. T This was discussed at the council on September 1l~, 19156 and we have no alternative other than to make a re-referral to the Planning Commission and I world ~~taisly appreciate this being considered in the near future. Initially, it appears that Mr. Helms is asking us more than he asked for at the time of his first submission for variance. Perhaps this i~o~rltirely true as there do appear to be some points in his favor. There some things which are perhaps worthy of some con- sideration and can probably be discussed in detail at the ~,ime we can arrange a meetings 1. the ~definitions~ section of the ordinance is really not entirely clear as to whether or not it applies to a detached garage built to the rear of the house. 2e ~[r. Helms was allowed to build a cement driveway to a distance of several inches from the north lot line and this was appa~oxisnately two years ago, 3. Yr. Helms, although not refused permission from his nett door neighbor, apparently has some real problesm in getting affirmation asltd these problems are somewhat unique. !te Thia party does haw a 65 foot lot which pre exists the ordinance requiresents of 75 feet. Hs feels rather strongly that he ahonld have apse lavc~rahle ooasidsratian in view of the above factors. He has disowrsed these poiata with ss ~ nttsber of tiles and hs does wish to appear at the P7.anaibg Coslsl,~sioa seetisag.
