The proposed height af the garage is <br />16 teet. The basis of the request is two-fold. The applicant would like the roof-line ofthe new <br />garage to nnatch the roof-line of the house, which has a fair[y steep s(ope. The other reason for <br />the variance request, and the basis for the hardship, is that the Ciiy is requiring iv1r. Gates' work <br />truck to be parked within his garage or to have it removed from the property altogether. (His <br />work tn.ick is a commercial vehicle as defined by City Code and as such is not allowed to be <br />parked outside in a residential district.) Because the truck is too tall to fit within a typically sizeci <br />jarage, Mr. Gates needs to install an eleven-foot garage cloor, thus raising the height of the <br />proposed garage by one foot. <br />On August I3, 1998, the applicant obtained a buiidin; permit to expand his garage, which <br />involved movin�q the existing garage baci: approximately fourteen feet and construciin� additional <br />garage space with a new door in tE�e front, to match the frant line and roof line of tl�e house. <br />:�fter having received an anonymaus complaint about commercial vehicles parked at the <br />applicant's house, sta�sent a fetter dated 9/4/98 which infarmed the applicant of the City Code <br />requirement prohibiting commercial vehicles fram bein� pa.rked outside in a residential district. <br />
