Planning Commission Meeting September 21, 1993 • Page 4 1 Public Hearing which appeared in the September 8, 1993 edition of the St. Anthony 2 Bulletin. 3 4 Urbia presented his staff report and how the garage setback permit request, if approved, 5 would allow additional space for the applicant to attach the garage and house with a 6 breezeway. Urbia also explained that if approved, conditions can be placed on the 7 applicant through a garage setback permit. 8 9 Franzese inquired about the overhangs and Urbia stressed that the three foot limit was 10 at the further most edge of the overhang. Franzese inquired about the side-yard setback 11 on the other side, and Urbia responded that it was 32.5'. Urbia also stated that the 12 proposal would have a lot coverage of 25%. Franzese asked about the side-yard setback 13 of the neighbor to the north: Urbia stated that the 57" figure was probably more 14 accurate than the 5'8" figure provided in the written application. Franzese inquired 15 about the current garage and if it would be removed. Urbia responded that the garage 16 would be moved and the old concrete slab would be removed. 17 18 Madden asked about the driveway and if the City could require the applicant to upgrade 19 it without this request. Urbia explained that the lack of hard cover driveway is 20 grandfathered. Faust inquired if the housing maintenance ordinance would address this • 21 issue at point of sale. Urbia said he would look into and report back to the Planning 22 Commission at their next meeting. 23 24 The applicant, Scott Barton, 3515 Harding Street Northeast,.began by answering some 25 of the questions raised by the Commissioners during the staff report.

He needs the additional 27 room for the breezeway due to the elevation difference between the home and to where 28 the garage will be moved. The additional room is needed so that stairs in the breezeway 29 can be accommodated. As the home is not square to the property line, the garage will 30 have to be square to the home and will not be square to the property line. He also 31 described screening issues of the neighborhood. 32 33 Thompson inquired if he ever considered attaching the garage to the home. Barton said 34 there is an elevation difference of two feet which would be cost prohibitive to elevate the 35 garage and have full frost footings, and difficult to place steps inside the garage. Barton 36 added that the proposal matches where the current curb cut is, and to move it would 37 require him to replace the curb as well. 38 39 Faust inquired how the applicant was sure the measurements were accurate. Barton 40 responded by saying he found his four monuments. Faust believed the measurements are 41 vague and felt that a survey might show the applicant has more space than he thinks and 42 would not need this request to complete the proposal. Barton asked if a certified survey lie
