Gustafson pointed out the difference in the massing between the two designs, <br /> noting that the latest proposal is lesser in height. <br /> Bremer inquired what plan the applicants would like to have approved. <br /> Gustafson stated the property owner has not had a chance to review the alternate plan with the angled <br /> garage. <br /> Bremer commented she personally does not have a problem with the application. <br /> Kroeger stated he does not see any benefit to the alternate plan since it is the same amount of <br /> encroachment as the original plan. <br /> Bremer stated her recollection of the concern expressed previously was the length of the structure. <br /> Gustafson stated the concern at the previous Planning Commission dealt with the long wall,which has <br /> since been modified to have a jog and a short stone wall. <br /> PAGE 2 <br />
