Schoenzeit asked if that is <br /> the case. <br /> Kieffer stated to his lrnowledge it is an overhang. <br /> Thiesse stated there is a rendering that shows it as a baicony. <br /> Curtis noted that is the covered entry. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if that is on the house currently. <br /> Gaf�ron stated it will become a new side entry. <br /> Schcenzeit asked whether that will be within the 9-foot setback area. <br /> Gaffron indicated it is and that the proposed side setback is roughly four feet to the erlge of the overhang. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. <br /> Richard Kozicky,2016 Shadywood Road, stated the ownets have been excellent neighbors since they <br /> maved in,but that he does have some concerns with the appiicaYion. Kozicky noted this property was <br /> allowed a variance in 1987 for a 7-foot side setback instead of a 10-foot setback. With the proposed <br /> addition,the applicants will be moving the garage further away from the road,whicb is an excellent idea <br /> given because of the speed of the traffic. <br /> Kozicky stated he is totally opposed to reducing the side setback from seven feet down to four or three <br /> feet. Kozicky noted the other side of the property,the south side, already has a fence totally between the <br /> two homes,which does not exist on his side of the property, The existing fence would allow the <br /> applicants to make any kind of an entry without having to worry about it as compared to the north side. <br /> Chair Leskinen closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br /> Leskinen stated she is not in favor of the attached gazage primarily because of the existing variance that <br /> states in no uncertain terms that the applicant is advised no additional future hardcover will be approved <br /> on the property. <br /> Thiesse noted the property is already 1,000 square feet over that number. <br /> Page 10 of 27 <br />
