This request also involves the location of the new garage to be located in front of the house which is a part of the variance request. This building placement was reviewed by the City Code Enforcement Officer, and he concurred that the site proposed was probably the most reasonable location for the building in question. This matter was reviewed by the Hugo Board of Zoning Adjustments at their March 28, 1990 meeting at which time said Board recommended approval of the two variances in question. It should be emphasized that granting of the variance allows for an encroachment into the side and front yards; however, it does not allow the structure in question to be used for other than residential purposes. Mr. Mersch has stated that the small garage now located on the property will be removed on or before completion of the new structure. Olson made motion, Vail seconded, to approve the variance request of Mr. Robert Mersch to construct a 22 x 60 pole type garage with 11' of the south property line, and in front of the house, on his property located at 12895 Ethan Avenue.

The area to the east of k::eystone Avenue is in May Township.
