I REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING . 1P JUNE 8 , 1993 PAGE 5 4 5 6 Mr . Henry i's requesting a garage setback permit to construct 7 a second twenty-two feet x twenty-four feet double garage with 8 an eighteen -foot sideyard setback . in the backyard to match the 9 grandfathered sideyard setback of the existing house . 10 11 .-Commissioner Franzese advised the Planning Commission is 12 recommending denial of this request . Members of the Commission 13 had suggested that a garage could be built closer to the 14 house. Also, there were objections from some of Mr . Henry ' s 15 neighbors . 16 17 Staff had noted that this request did not exactly meet the 18 intent of the garage setback permit process in that there is 19 already a two car garage on the property. It was also noted 20 that the second garage would accommodate the concerns of the 21 Council regarding the storage of boats and recreational 22 vehicles but still did not meet the spirit of the permit . 23 24 The Mayor observed that one of the reasons the Council has put 25 a permit process in place was to address vehicles and 26 recreational equipment left outside. 0 At-.the Planning Commission meeting, Mr . Henry was asked why he 29 didn ' t make an addition to his existing garage. He responded 30 that the bids on an addition would cost about $33 , 000 whereas 31 a detached garage would cost about $14 , 000 . At . the Council 32 Meeting he explained that the extra expense for the addition 33 was due to the footings necessary for the attachment . For a 34 detached garage only a floating slab was needed . 35 36 Councilmember Enrooth inquired if this request would have met 37 the criteria for approval under the old ordinance . The City 38 Manager said a hardship would have to be proven . He felt in 39 the truest sense of "hardship" it would never meet the 40 definition . 41 42 The City Manager felt enforcement of banning parking of 43 recreational vehicles outside or on a driveway would be very 44 difficult . He suggested that some conditions which addressed 45 this could be put into the permit . Mr . Henry stated that one 46 of his reasons for requesting this permit is so he will have 47 inside coverage for some of his recreational vehicles and 48 equipment and does not want to park them on his driveway . He 49 felt this would be more acceptable to his neighbors . 50 •
