VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 8. #04-3036 DURABILT ASSOCIATES, INC. ON BEHALF OF JAMES BROOKS, 3785 WATERTOWN ROAD - VARIANCE Gundlach explained that the applicant requests a side yard setback variance to allow an eastern side yard setback of 10’ when 14.4' currently exists and 50* is normally required. Although the Planning Commission voted to approve the request on a 5-1-1 vote, she slated that staff would recommend denial of the requested variance to allow the setback, but would support a side yard setback variance of 14.4’ due to the existing setback of the house and attached garage, and narrowness of the lot. White stated that he would prefer a garage wider than 20’ to allow for storage of outdoor equipment. Frit/.ler indicated that a long narrow lot should be required to build a long narrow garage. Tom Kaspr/a. of Ournbilt. stated that the minimum width he usually builds is 22*. McMillan felt it was deceiving from the pictures to see the height differentials within the dri\eway. She believed hardship could be found in the need for .in adequate driveway apron and turnaround access to pull out onto Watertown Road. Brocks stated that he was attempting to improve the aesthetics of tite property, as well os, obtain a two car garage McMillan moved. White seconded, to approve the side yard setback variance to allow a 10* eastern side yard setback to construct a two stall garage due to the lot dimensions, elevations and constrictions of the drivewray turnaround. VOTE: Aves, White and McMillan: Nays, PAGE 10 of 14 iii
