Community Development Director Ericson indicated the applicants have requested a variance and CUP to allow for a garage expansion. He then indicated that the Comprehensive Plan addresses these types of improvements and this is consistent with what the City encourages. The issue with the variance is because of the 10 x 15 area off the bacic of the garage. Director Ericson indicated the applicants submitted a brief statement as to the basis for the variance and the one tlling that he found most interesting is that they do not have a basement so they are very limited in storage space. Director Ericson indicated that Staff has reviewed this request and it does not appear that this expansion would create any sort of adverse impact nor will it blocic anyone's view of the lalce. Director Ericson indicated that the request is consistent with all of the requirements and in tenns of the CUP satisfies all the requirements with the exception of the garage width. He then handed out plans showing the proposed expansion. Director Ericson indicated that because of the variance request the neighbors were notified of this public hearing and Staff has received no comments either way.
