Tom Jacobs will be following up oi. <br />this. <br />Discussion: ... <br />Applicant is requesting to nearly triple the size of his existing <br />house. The proposal requires side and rear setback variances. The <br />proposed addition also requires a variance for structure-to-structure set­ <br />back; the addition is proposed to be 6" to 3' from the existing garage <br />which is used to store commercial equipment. This garage was constructed <br />by the applicant in 1984. He has indicated no hardship to justify granting <br />the structure-to-structure setback variance. He had ample opportunity in <br />1984 to place the garage where it would allow this future expansion of his <br />home. Building Inspector, Tom Jacobs, notes applicant could attach the <br />garage to avoid a variance.
