He <br />went on to state that, by putting the rear lot line in conformity to code, it <br />would be aligned through the middle of a neighbor's house. Granting an equal lot <br />would put unnecessary burden on Mr. Pajak. <br />M (McCarty) to amend the motion of April 23, 1979, that the square footage of <br />the utility building be 2% of the total square footage of the yard. <br />motion fails for lack of a second <br />Mayor McCarty stated his feeling that a larger lot should be able to entertain a <br />larger utility building. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth indicated the code does not say 2 %. He further cautioned <br />that before the Council acts on this matter and adopts this type of idea hastily, <br />it should change the code first. An action of this type might bring to light <br />other problems of greater concern than Mr. Pajak is indicating. A problem may <br />arise in the future when Mr. Pajak wants to build a second garage on the property. <br />Councilmember Hodges suggested the matter be directed back to the Planning Commission. <br />Councilmember Rowley stated that if this matter is sent back to the Planning <br />Commission, they should be provided notes from previous actions dating back <br />approximately 18 months as to the Council's reasoning at that time. She further <br />stated her agreement with Mr. Ziebarth and suggested perhaps the 2% figure should <br />be 2% of the maximum lot size. <br />Mr. Pajak pointed out that citizens were building huge garages because they can't <br />have auxiliary buildings. Councilmember Rowley explained that garage sizes had <br />increased because people needed the area for storage. <br />
