MINUTES CITY COUNCIL October 25, 1989 The Council pointed out that at the time Sylvan Street was improved, the Council indicated that it would approve a variance for the property for lot width and lot area so that it would be divided. The resulting lot would be just under the minimum lot width and area required by Code. However, Mr. McTeague did not wish to divide his property. Degal again stated that he opposed the proposal as he did not believe it would fit into the area. John Gangl, 2560 Sylvan, opposed the garage as he did not feel it would fit into the area. Gangl did not believe there was room to move the garage back any significant distance. Steve Braun, 2545 Sylvan, opposed the garage because of aesthetic conoerns, and felt that the garage sitting on the lot would downvalue the adjacent properties. There was no one else from the general public present wishing to speak on this matter. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by Scalze, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 89-10-517 - DENYING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUESTED BY TERRY MCTEAGUE, 2565 STARK STREET, FOR ACCESSORY GARAGE IN REAR YARD ABUTTING SYLVAN STREET BASED ON THE OBJECTIONS OF THE SYLVAN STREET PROPERTY OWNERS AND BECAUSE THE LOT IS A DOUBLE-FRONTING LOT, AND IT WAS THE OPINION OF THE COUNCIL TxAT THE GARAGE FRONTING ON SYLVAN STREET WOULD NOT FIT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AESTHETICALLY The foregoinq resolution was duly seconded by Mrs. Scalze.
