He requested that <br /> 14 the Planning Commission consider this when it is reviewing the <br /> 15 parking ordinance. -The City Manager advised he will bring some <br /> 16 updated suggestions to the Planning Commission when it <br /> 17 considers the ordinances . <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Councilmember Enrooth felt this may be a safety factor in <br /> 20 wanting the door directly into the house . <br /> 31 <br /> 22 Mr . Dotolo inquired how close a garage can come to a house. He <br /> 23 noted that the overhangs are going to be eight feet or closer <br /> 24 to his home and that of Mr. Novak. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 The Mayor inquired if a safety factor, such as access of fire <br /> 27 trucks, is a consideration . The City Manager responded that <br /> overhangs are no longer considered when a garage is attached <br /> to a house.
