Regarding the Planning Commission's <br />recommendation that the garage be moved an additional <br />4u' back from the road, he stated that his garage is <br />already approximately 20' from the driven roadway and <br />there are many garages in the area that arc closer to <br />the road than his. In addition, if he were to move the <br />garage back, it would eliminate any access for large <br />equipment to service the well on his property or the <br />well on the Henry property. <br />City Engineer Cook stated that without analyzing the <br />structural integrity of the garage, he felt the proposed <br />design concept seemed sound. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan asked staff's opinion regarding <br />the safety of the garage being located so close to the <br />driven roadway? <br />Staff confirmed that there is a safety concern with <br />backing out onto the roadway. <br />Mr. Meyer stated that at this point in the road, there <br />is adequate site distance. <br />Councilmember Goetten asked if this lot was considered <br />buildable? <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that she did not <br />feel that she could answer this question without first <br />analyzing the area and width of the lot in relation to <br />surrounding lots. The lot appears severely substandard <br />in consideration of the LR-1B standards. <br />Mr. Meyer stated that he has recognized t:ze fact that <br />the lot is not buildable for a residence. <br />Councilmember Goetten asked if any fill will be <br />necessary? <br />Mr. Meyer stated that a minor amount of fill may be <br />needed when repairing the foundation. <br />Councilmember Sime felt that ,'r. Meyer has found a <br />satisfactory way to repair the structure per the City's <br />hazardous building direction and staff has recommended <br />approval as proposed. <br />6 <br />
