Variance for a Garage at 6651 145th Circle North (Murphy)
The Board considered the request of Mark Murphy and Heidi Fessler, 6651 145th Circle North,
for two variances to construct a detached garage on their property. The applicant was requesting
to construct a 1,257 square foot garage where ordinance limits the size of a garage to 1,000
square feet and to locate the structure in front of the home where ordinance requires accessory
structures to be located further from the road than the principal structure.
The Board considered similar variances at the July 14, 2005 Board meeting. The applicant had
withdrawn the original application and submitted a revised survey and application for a property
line adjustment to move the property line to the west, which is an outlot of the development and
owned by the developer. The property line adjustment would allow the building to be moved
further to the west so the garage would not be directly in front the home but would still be closer
to the road than the home. The property line adjustment would eliminate the need of a variance
for the side yard setback that was part of the original application.
Schumann opened the public hearing. Other than the applicant, there was no one present who
wished to speak on the request. Schumann closed the public hearing.
Schumann asked the applicant if he intended to remove or rebuild the house. Murphy said he
had no intention of removing the house but would be remodeling it.
Puleo asked the applicant what he would be doing to screen the garage from the road. Murphy
showed where he would be planting trees on the west side and landscaping in the front.
