VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> 2. #13-3603 CHERYL CORYEA AND RICHARD DEVLIN,385 CASCO POINT ROAD, <br /> VARIANES,6:33 P.M.—6:47 P.M. <br /> Cheryl Coryea and Richard Devlin,Applicants,were present. <br /> Curtis stated the applicant is requesting setback variances in order to connect the existing detached garage <br /> to the existing principal structure and to reorient and raise the roof of the garage. In 1978,the City <br /> approved variances allowing the detached garage in its current location. As approved, it was to be ten <br /> feet from the front and ten feet from the side lot lines. It was constructed slightly closer to both lot lines <br /> and exists today 6.8 feet from the front property line and 9.5 feet from the side. <br /> The applicants would like to connect the detached garage to the home with an addition and raise and <br /> reorient the garage roof. Connecting the garage to the home results in a change in the nature of the garage <br /> as it would be considered to be the principal structure. Principal structure setbacks for the district are 10- <br /> foot side yard and 30-foot front yard. The property is not a lakeshore lot, so the provision allowing a side <br /> loading detached garage ten feet from the street is not an option. <br /> Page 1 of 25 <br />
