Bremian indicated as <br /> the garage is moved closer to the sh-eei, it��ould increase tlle dimensions. <br /> Ratui stated ii appears this application may need to be tabled for a redesign. <br /> Bremer inquired what size structure the applicant would lilce. <br /> Brennan stated he is not fanuliar with what happened in previous meetings since he only became involved <br /> in this application today. Brennan stated the applicant would lilce a functional garage, Brennan stated if <br /> the hardcover and side yard setback encroaclunents were required to be reduced, they would like a <br /> structure tllat is appropriate for this lot. <br /> Bremer suggested Brennan work with the applicant and table the application. <br /> Brennan stated they would like some feedback from the Planning Conunission. <br /> Leslie noted 34 by 22 was approved previously,which equates to 748 feet and satisfies the setback <br /> requirement. <br /> Brennan indicated that size requires a setback of 10 feet, <br /> Bremer stated due to the topography, a front-loading garage was previously determined not to be <br /> appropriate for this lot and that was why it was allowed with that short of setback.
