The original request was <br />for a 24' x 24' garage; Planning Commission had reduced it to 18' x 24'. <br />Applicant now proposes a 16 ’ x 22 ’ garage located 1 ’ from the west side lot line, a 5’ street setback, <br />and located 29' from the wetland. The basis for the request is that the 12 ’ x 15' garage is too small <br />to hold the items needing storage, and is uneconomical to build. <br />Procedure <br />The City Attorney has advised that the Council's authority to reconsider comes from Robert's Rules <br />of Order. He will further advise on this Monday night if necessary. In general, only a Council <br />member who voted in the majority may move to reconsider, and a 2/3 vote (i.e. 4 of 5) is required <br />for reconsideration to occur.
