With the additional information obtained, Mabusth said there are now no excesses in either hardcover or structural coverage now proposed at 12 2% The 24'x30' garage addition is located in the required rear street yard. Since it is a thru lot, a 35' street setback is required. The applicants reviewed the concerns regarding the access from unimproved Park Avenue, which would involve obtaining a new address They have determined that they are unable to make immediate changes and are not inclined to close off their access from North Shore Drive at this time A new' proposal has been submitted that includes a 24'x24' garage and a 12-l/2'x24' deck and staircase to the south of the garage addition The deck would be attached to both the house and the garage. This would eliminate the street setback variance but would require a side setback variance of 2'. The garage addition meets the setback to the rear.
