The screen porch above the garage would be <br /> removed and the addition would be constructed in its place. While the property was located <br /> within a two acre zoning district, the neighborhood was more in character with one acre zoning <br /> standards. <br /> Staff recommended approval of the front yard setback variance to construct an addition over the <br /> existing garage. <br /> Mr. Smith stated that revised plans from a new architect did not change the peak height of 30' <br /> for the 2 1/2 story structure. <br /> Gaffron noted that since defining a 1/2 story the revised plans should meet the 30' height <br /> requirement and new definition. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> Bremer stated that she had no problem with the addition and complimented the applicant on the <br /> revised plans. <br /> Rahn stated that as long as the height requirement was met, he had no problem supporting the <br /> application. <br /> Fritzler concurred with Rahn. <br /> Bremer moved, Mabusth seconded, to approve Application #02-2812, Marvin and Mary <br /> Smith, 1940 Country Club Road, a front yard setback variance to construct a 2 1/2 story <br /> addition over the existing garage of the residence.
