ERIC AND CHRISTINE MENGE,340 TURNHAM ROAD,VARIANCES, <br /> 6:31 p.m.—6:48 p.m. <br /> Craig Johnson, TC Best Homes,was present on behalf of the Applicant. <br /> Bottenberg stated this application was tabled at the July 16,2001 Planning Commission meeting to <br /> allow the Applicants time to revise their proposed plan regarding a garage and family room addition. <br /> The Applicants have redesigned their plan and have relocated the garage 24 feet from the side lot line <br /> and 53.7 feet from the front lot line. The Planning Commission had directed the Applicants that the side <br /> setback should be not less than 30 feet. The family room addition to the rear of the residence remains <br /> the same. <br /> Bottenberg indicated a variance to the side yard setback is required to allow the garage to be located <br /> 24 feet from the side lot line where 50 feet is required,and a family room addition to be located 49.8 <br /> feet from the side lot line where 50 feet is required. A variance to the front yard setback is also required <br /> to allow the garage to be located 53.7 feet from the street lot line where 100 feet is required. <br /> Johnson stated they have rotated the garage square with the house,which has resulted in the garage to <br /> be located 24 feet off the property line rather than 12 feet. Johnson stated it was his understanding from <br /> the previous Planning Commission meeting that the garage could be located between 25 and 30 feet off <br /> the side property line. Johnson stated they are planning to construct a two car garage consisting of 30 <br /> feet deep and 20 feet wide. Johnson indicated they are unable to make the garage any narrower and still <br /> accommodate two cars. <br /> PAGE 1 <br />
