The proposed detached garage is an <br />accessory structure and would normally have to be placed behind <br />the front line extensions of the house, limiting it to an area to <br />the Past and south of the house (Exhibit E). <br />The existing driveway access is from Willow Drive, c-rid this <br />will not change. :l large hedge acts to screen the proposed <br />garage from Watertown Road.
