The lot consists of S,Sb2 square feet in a 2-acre zone. T�e <br /> P�P�B�Se is located five feet from t�e east side Iot line and will replace a g�rage that was removed <br /> approximabely ai8ht Years ago. The proposad garage is being moved further fro�m the ci+eek but will still <br /> be 18.5 feet from ti�.a creek where a 75-foot setback is noxmally roq+�ired. <br /> Ea�rly ir�the applicatian process there was concarn about having to pla�e fill in the floodplain area.

The properiy is allowed 1500 sgusre feet st�vctural <br /> feet because the lot is less than 10,000 square feet The property is cunrentty at 1,615 square f�et,jvst <br /> slightly over�e limi� The applicams couid reduce both c�imensions of the garag�e by a few inches and <br /> mcet the 1500 square f�eet but$taff do�not f�ael that is a big issue.

In St�s opinion the praposed garage locatian would appear to be t�easonable for a minimum- <br /> si�ed detached twastall g�rage. <br /> Page 9 of 44 <br />
