toward the intentions of the applicant to simply replace an <br />existing garage with a larger garage, we do not feel that a <br />variance is justifiable in this case. We also feel however, that <br />a denial of the application is not necessary, given the following <br />alternatives are considered: <br />1. The concrete slab is altered by adding two and one -half (2 <br />1/2) feet of concrete to the north side of the existing <br />slab. The garage can be placed closer to the house, and <br />maintain the required 10 foot side yard setback. <br />2. A variance could be granted to allow the garage to be placed <br />on the existing concrete slab with a insufficient side yard <br />setback of seven and one -half (7 1 /2) feet, encroaching a <br />total of two and one -half (2 1 /2) feet into the required <br />ten (10) feet side yard. There would be no apparent <br />hardship experienced by the applicant if a variance is not <br />granted, only an addition cost to alter the concrete slab <br />which does not justify approval of a variance. <br />3. Whatever alternative is chosen by the City, only one garage <br />shall be present on the property, the old garage must be <br />removed within a time frame determined by the City. <br />4. The vehicle, located between the house and garage <br />foundation, must be moved, per Ordinance Section <br />903.050.F.6. (See photographs) <br />5. All Building Official, building inspection reort <br />requirements must be met to the satisfaction of the City. <br />cc: Joe Chlebeck <br />Tom Sweeny <br />Don Carley <br />John Palacio <br />Tom Stadler <br />Page 44 <br />
