There is an old existing garage on the property which does not meet the front yard or side yard setback requirements, which is too close to the road for safe vehicle use and which Mr. Proegler has stated is too small for his storage requirements. 2. The proposed garage location is set back far enough • from the road to provide a turnaround and parking area between the garage and the road which area does provide for safe vehicle use. 3. There is a large existing maple tree on the property which may be damaged and/or which may have to be removed -if the garage were to be -placed farther from the road. 4. The lot is only 57 ft. wide. 5. It is unreasonable to permit a new garage which requires location variances on the same property as an existing non -conforming garage. 6. It is reasonable to permit one garage on the property to accommodate the storage -needs of the 'owner and to preserve the substantial enjoyment and property rights of the owner. 7. It is reasonable to permit the new garage to be sized to include the storage area of the existing garage in addition to the requested area of the new garage.
