Berg moved to table Application 1103-2919, Kevin and Deborah Thompson, 90 Myrtlewood Rond. Hawn repeated that plans and dimensions would be necessary to proceed. She believed the Commission could support the side street setback variance. Gaflron stated that the side street lot line to the Highway 12 right-of-w'ay had alwa)^ been there as a grassed over area. Chair Smith questioned whether there were alternate sites for the garage. Thompson indicated that the only alternate site would eliminate an alternate site for the mound system. Chair Smith indicated that she could support the side street setback variance with additional screening. Rahn stated that he concurred with staff recommendations and that he believed the Commission would not support the oversize accessory structure. He suggested, once again, that the applicant provide staff with detailed dimensions and a pictorial drawing of the plans. Gaffron agreed that it would be unusual for the Commission to grant a variance to oversize structures on a 1 acre lot. Thompson asked if they could construct the greenhouse on the other side of the existing garage. The Commission supported this suggestion provided the individual building and attached greenhouse do not exceed 1,000 s.f. There were no public comments.
