Regular Council Minutes 10/23/06 Page 9 OLD BUSINESS OPEN PORTION - 3 minute limit imposed by Chair. Those who wish to speak must first state their name and address. This open portion is limited to discussion pertaining to the items under "Old Business" only. There were no comments. Mr. Saponaro asked for a copy of the CAC minutes. He did not get one in his packet. Mr. Buckholtz indicated that it has come to their attention that they are not submitting it to Mary Beth, so it is not getting to Council. Dr. Parker will make sure that Mary Beth gets the Minutes and she will distribute them to Council. NEW l~USINESS Motion to reverse the decision of the Board of Appeals of Case No. 2006-03 fora 525 square foot variance to allow for construction of a 1200 square foot accessory building. Mr. Saponaro, seconded by Mrs. Mills, made a motion to reverse the decision of the Board of Appeals for Case No. 2006-03 fora 525 square foot variance to allow for construction of a 1200 square foot accessory building. Council President Buckholtz asked if there was any discussion. Mr. Marrelli reported that at Caucus, we discussed what the garage would look like and the Mayor asked if he could get a drawing put together. Council should have that. Ron DiNardo, our Municipal Architect, prepared it. What he did was draw the north elevation of the garage showing the height of the roof as our Ordinance would have it which is at the bottom half of the page and he redrew it with the roof in proper proportion to the width of the building which is beyond what our Ordinance allows by 2 feet 6 inches. Mr. Marrelli asked that because we had this done, could we add that into the motion if Council plans to approve this? In other words, when the Architectural Board gets this, they are going to raise the roof on it beyond what our Code requires because it does not look right when it is too wide. We went through this with Mr. Mills' garage some years ago. Same issue. With regard to the variance, Mayor Rinker requested clarification of what they were at BZA. Mr. Marrelli responded, that initially the variances were oversized by 525 square feet. What that oversize does is give you a wide footprint and with our 1 S foot garage roof ridge requirement maximum, it ends up being a wide low garage and so what the Architect did was proportion the roof and because we have this in front of us, Mr. Marrelli would like to know if Council would go ahead and act on that as well so that we do not have to go back to the Zoning Board unless you think that is what we have to do.
