She felt the side setback variance was a problem. <br />Silus noted the difficulty in turning around on the property. <br />Berg noted the builder has an obligation to correct the problems. <br />Diane Carlson said she had requested side facing doors about 8 years ago and had to turn the garage. <br />She felt the garage could be built without the type of entrance as proposed.
