t <br /> 1 *one of the three vans he has now would be eliminated soon <br /> • 2 because of its appearance. <br /> 3 Tomas denied the new garage addition was related to an expansion of <br /> 4 his plumbing business although it was conceivable that he would be <br /> 5 doing the loading and unloading in there after it's built. He said <br /> 6 primarily he wanted to have room to store his boat which he has had <br /> 7 to leave outdoors the last two winters. <br /> 8 The applicant said he perceived by parking half of his vehicles on <br /> 9 the Silver Lane side he would be relieving Penrod Lane. He <br /> 10 admitted it was "a jungle" around his house when there's no parking <br /> 11 on the street in the winter, but anticipated most of the congestion <br /> 12 would be eliminated when the boys moved away. <br /> 13 Childs indicated there might be a problem if vehicles were parked on <br /> 14 the proposed Silver Lane cement slab which is in the City's right- <br /> 15 of-way because that's where the City crews have to plow snow. <br /> 16 Nineteen foot vans would also protrude beyond the 11 foot setback he <br /> 17 observed. <br /> 18 Tomas responded that there might be more room to park some of the <br /> 19 vehicles with the new garage addition. <br /> 20 Two other persons were present but neither accepted the invitation <br /> 21 to speak and the hearing was closed at 8: 35 P.M. <br /> • 22 commission Reaction <br /> 23 London <br /> 24 *said he basically opposed the variance because he perceived <br /> 25 the neighbor's objections to be legitimate; <br /> 26 *indicated he believed Mr. Tomas was running a plumbing <br /> 27 business out of his garage and if only the boat were going to be <br /> 28 parked in the new garage, the addition would do little to alleviate <br /> 29 the problems for the neighbors with the number of cars which would be <br /> 30 left sitting outside; <br /> 31 *concluded that as long as Mr. Tomas runs a business out of <br /> 32 his garage and uses two or three vans for that purpose, he's going to <br /> 33 have parking problems; <br /> 34 *indicated he had a detached garage himself and didn't <br /> 35 necessarily consider them to be either "ugly" or "inconvenient" ; <br /> 36 *said in many ways they are advantageous with their long <br /> 37 driveways and in this case Mr. Tomas might be able to store some of <br /> 38 his belongings out back where no one cares. <br /> • 8 <br />
