Applicant is replacing a number of accessory structures used for storage with one large garage.He noted the inspector came upon the site when the slab was half poured and a stop work order was Issued, but because concrete was on the way and could not be cancelled, he allowed the owner to proceed with the knowledge that it was at her own • risk and may not be approved. The garage has a footprint of'1,056 s.f. where the largest accessory building that could be put on a lot of this size is 1,000 s.f. A garage over 1,000 s.f. would require 30 setbacks from all lot lines. This garage Is poured at about 2-3* setbacks. With a footprint of 750-1000’ s.f., a 15' setback would still be required, and anything smaller would require 10 setbacks.
