Regular Council Meeting <br />May 21, 2001 <br />Page 7 <br />Mrs. Cinco said she wonders if this would be a good compromise. To grant a variance is a <br />hardship--and not being a hardship-you are thinking out a breezeway anyway and it wouldn't <br />need a variance. <br />Mr. McGill said one of the big things about having a breezeway-is that it could not be done at <br />the same time. We would like to request the variance. <br />Mr. Buckholtz asked Mr. Samac for clarification if residents are not permitted to build detached <br />garages per our code. <br />Mr. Samac said we require a minimum of a two-car attached garage but they can put a detached <br />garage in addition providing they have access to it with a vehicle. There are many ono-car and <br />two-car detached garages that were in before the ordinance was enacted. <br />Mayor Rinker asked Mr. Samac to draw a footprint of the property. <br />Mr. Samac drew the footprint showing the existirig home and garage and the proposed garage <br />and breezeway. <br />Mr. McGill said his wife does not want the garage attached. <br />Mayor Rinker said you understand that if you have only one garage on the property it has to be <br />attached. He asked if there was any discussion as to how you would attach it to comply-- did he <br />just reject that option. <br />Mr. McGill said if you wanted a garage detached, you had to get a variance. <br />Mayor Rinker asked what it would take to attach. <br />Mr. McGill said it is about $15,000 more. He was curious about a breezeway. (He referenced <br />the pictures.) <br />Mayor Rinker said we don't have the history of those garages. Those people may be <br />grandfathered in. If your wife doesn't want the garage adjacent to the master bedroom but there <br />is a logic behind connecting the two-he is trying to understand the logic of not connecting. <br />Mr. McGill said if it is connected, the gas and electrical would have to be moved over. <br />Mayor Rinker said those could be done. <br />Mr. McGill said correct. <br />Council President Marquardt asked if there were any further comments. <br />There were none.
