Neighbor Comments 01/16/14 Background The applicant has provided revised plans for the garage addition resulting in a 6 foot expansion of the existing attached garage. Variances for hardcover, side yard setback, lake setback and average lakeshore setback are requested. This application was tabled by the City Council at the December 13th meeting to allow the Planning Commission to review the applicant's latest revision. In October, the applicant initially proposed a 12' addition to the attached garage, to which the Planning Commission responded by tabling the application and recommending the addition be reduced by half the depth. At the November 18th follow up meeting with the Planning Commission the applicant opted to propose a 9' addition citing the need to accommodate each of his vehicles. The Planning Commission questioned the applicant as to why the 9' addition was proposed when they previously indicated there was support if the garage expansion was reduced to 6'. The Commission approved a motion to recommend denial of the applicant's variance request to allow a 9 foot addition to the attached garage.
