Neighbor Comments Background: This application for average lakeshore, lakeshore, side setback and hardcover variances was first before the Planning Commission in October, where a 12' addition to the attached garage was proposed. The Planning Commission tabled the application and recommended the applicant consider reducing the depth of the proposed addition by half. At the November 18th fo�low up meeting with the Planning Commission the applicant opted to propose a 9' addition citing the need to accommodate each of his vehicles. The Commission approved a motion to deny the applicant's variance request to allow the proposed 9 foot addition to the attached garage. At the December 13th meeting the Council reviewed the applicant's request to permit a (revised) 6' expansion of the existing garage. The Council tabled application to give the Planning Commission an opportunity to review the applicant's updated plans. Update: The applicant presented the revised plans for the 6' garage addition to the Planning Commission at the January 215t meeting. Variances for hardcover, side yard setback, lake setback and average lakeshore setback are requested. The Planning Commission reviewed the applicant's request, heard testimony from the applicant and an adjacent neighbor who opposes the variances. The neighbor's comments are included as Exhibit I.
