The Applicant applied for and received approval to construct a detached garage on the property. Variances are needed to lot area, lot width, front yard, and side yard setbacks. City Staff is recommending approval of this application since the hardcover or overall structural coverage will not increase.

Hawn inquired whether the building inspector has had an opportunity to inspect the foundation.
