Planning Commission member Cohen concurred with Brown. Hanson stated that anything that projects toward Crystal Place, beyond the average front yard setback, will not be approved. Mr. Paige stated that he did not want to remove any trees from his property. Hanson reiterated his opinion that the southwest corner of the property was the best location for the garage. There were no comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Planning Commission member Cohen, seconded by Planning Commission member Hanson, to table application #1!^37, Motion, Ayes=6, Nays**0, Motion passed. #1338 DUANE & CONNIE SCBIBILLA 3235 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD VARIANCES PUBLIC BEARING 8:52 P.N - 9:05 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. The applicants were present for this matter. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that the applicants were requesting hardcover and accessory structure area variances to construct a new garage to the rear of their property. Access to the garage would be through a driveway that serves approximately 8 houses and is along the railroad right-of-way. The proposed location of the Schibilla garage would conform to the locations of neighboring garages. The Schibillas had a garage that was destroyed in the July, 1987 "Super Storm". The old structure has been removed. The proposed garage would have two stories of 624 s.f. each. Chairman Kelley asked what the actual size of the garage would be. Mrs. Schibilla replied it would be 24* by 26*. If the size of the garage were reduced to 500 s.f. per story, which would not require a variance, the total area would be 20* by 25* or 22* by 22*. Gaffron asked the applicants about the feasibility of putting a half basement under the garage which would allow for the large size of the upper floor and cut down the floor area below. Mr. John Nelson, the contractor for the Schibilla*s, stated that their house only has half a basement, so the applicants were in need of storage space. Gaffron added that from a hardcover standpoint, there was not really any reasonable hardcover that could be removed. The applicant was asked whether he intended to retain the gravel parking area. Mr. Schibilla replied that the parking area was not really needed. It would just be a question of whether his guests parked on grass or gravel. Planning Commission member asked if there was any alternative parking
