The Plaruiing Coi�ulzission revie�ved ihe�pplication For varialices�uicl reconullencled approval by a vote of 7 to 0 based on the following f ndings aild hardsliips: A. The 101:was plaited prior to cuiTent zoiung standards. B. This property does have a number of factors to consider that inalce construction of a new garage that conrornls in location difficult. The topography of the lot does not make placing a new garage on the propei-ty that has an adequate tl.tniiilg radius and provides proper drainage. A side loading garage will leave a relatively flat area to znaneuver velucles and allow drainaae from the street to bypass the buildings and house. C.� The total dist�ice het��een the new garage and the eaisting retaining wall will be 22'. A garage meetulg the required setback would only leave 1T which is not adequate for safe backing of velucles. D. A garage with direct access to tlie street would requue fill to be brought in to raise the ground elevatioii aiid create a flat approach in fi•ont of the garage. It woulcl not be feasible to have the driveway continue to slope down to the garage as winter conditions iilay cause a vel�icle to slide into the building. Additionally, the drive�vay desimi needs to be done to ensure that any water wotrld be diverted ativay from the building. E. According to I-iennepiu�County plat maps and the suivey submitted witli tl�e application,there is a poz-tion of r'orest Lane(undeveloped)located bettiveen ihis property�u1d ihe lalcesllore.
