Kempf indicated the encroachment was <br />a significant issue to him at the time of the original proposal and still remains a significant issue. Kempf <br />stated he would be in favor of the alternate proposal. <br />Jurgens stated he prefers the garage being angled since it lessens the encroachment but that the deck and <br />porch are areas of concern. Jurgens inquired whether there is a 30-foot setback in the area of the deck. <br />Gaffron stated there is. <br />Jurgens commented that it might be necessary to reduce the deck and porch to lessen the encroachment. <br />Bremer inquired whether the Plam1ing Commission would be wasting their time approving the alternate <br />plan if the property owner has not seen the design. <br />Gustafson stated in his opinion the property owner will probably be okay with the angled garage. <br />Bremer stated the Planning Commission could table the application to allow the property owner to view <br />the plans. <br />Gustafson stated they would prefer to go forward with the application. <br />Bremer moved, Kempf seconded, Application #06-3102, Stonewood Design Build, 920 Brown Road <br />South, to recommend approval of the alternate plan that was submitted this evening depicting an <br />angled garage, which is more in line with the original application that was approved. <br />Bremer noted an important aspect of her approval is that both of the neighbors have indicated their <br />support <br />VOTE: Ayes4, Nays 1, Jurgens opposed. <br />Jurgens stated he prefers the angled garage but is opposed to the increase of hardcover in the northeast <br />comer since a hardship has not been demonstrated. <br />PAGE3
