She 458-96 continued by saying that the applicant has added an enclosed entry way at the back door which is existing and the direction of the stairway within the enclosure is towards the garage and because of those factors, in means that the structure does get closer than six feet. It was Staffs feeling, especially since the two structures do not overlap and that a hardship would be incurred by having to redesign the house and move the rear entrance, that this variance was justified. It was Staffs recommendation that this request could be approved. Director Sheldon noted that a diagram had been provided to the Planning Commission. She continued by saying that a resolution has been provided to the Planning Commission that outlines the findings and the facts that apply to those findings and suggested that the title be changed to include "..a variance granting...". She noted the contingency contained in the resolution which is that prior to final inspection and approval of the building addition that the proper work is done on the walls of the garage to fireproof it to meet building code requirements. Director Sheldon informed the Planning Commission that the applicant, Scott McCulloch from Vic & Son, was present. The following corrections were noted in the resolution: 1) the first paragraph, third line, should read, "....to allow a reduction...", 2) the seventh paragraph, first line, should read "...the granting of the variance...", 3) the seventh paragraph, second line, should read, "...to owners of other lands...", 4) the second page, • third paragraph, second line, should read, "...on behalf of Terry..." and 5) the same paragraph,
