? i . variance is required for the addition. Mr. Stock, the neighbor adjacent to this property, presented a prepared statement (included i.n file) which objected to the request on the basis that Mr. Rochelle ha,s not demonstrated that there is a need; there is a two car garage on the property; that others on the street have more than two vehicles and park them in the drive; there is a utility building on the property for storage of lawn equipment at present; this addition will be a detriment in the event the 5tocks sell their property; it could affect the drainage; and a mature pin oak tree will ha.ve to be removed. The members read the statement. Mr. Rochelle stated that one pin oak would ha.ve to be removed, and he owns 4 vehicles. Mr. Stock stated that he would have no objection to the addition to the house, but the garage taould affect his property. In response to Mr. Gomersall's question, Mr. Mitchell stated that all these lots are pie shaped, and there is 13 to 14 feet between the houses. Mr. Grace pointed out that there were no side yard variances required. Mr. Mitchell explained that brick matching the existing will be installed on the side adjacent to the Stock's house. There will be no encroachments into the setbacks. Mr. Rochelle explained that originally he intended to eonstruct a detached garage on the back property which would be hidden by the trees, but would have necessitated a drive along side of the garage (block which would be covered with grass). The Stocks objected to vehicles driving between the houses. Mrs. Stock stated that a garage would not have been allowed on that lot. Mr.. Rochelle's lot is quite deep. Nfre Grace and Mr. Gomersall agreed that the since these lots are pie shaped, there would not be that much of a probl+em. Mr. Maloney stated that this looked like a very good proposal and the Board has granted other variance for additional garage area to contain historical cars. Mrs. Stock stated that his cars have always been outside and right now his garage is empty. Psr. Rochelle responded that he is installing new garage doors. Mr. Mitchell pointed out tha.t this addition had been designed so that it would not effect the look of the neighborhood from the street side, everything is from the rear. Mr. Grace believed that this really looked like part of the house. J. Maloney'moved to grant to William Rochelle, 25075 Sur3set Oval, the request for a 522 square foot variance for garage area to add to existing garage, seconded by B. Grace, and unanimously approved.

Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Pop, and neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Fritz and Mr. and Mrs. Brian. Mr. Gomersail stated that this house is very far back on. the lot and he does not have many options. Mr. Brian stated that they have no specific objection, they merely are interested. The previous owner had told them there was nothing he could do to improve the house because of the Zoning Codes. He stated. that Mr. Pop fixed up the interior of the house and then later put- on a front addition. Mr. Pop stated that he did get a permit for the front addition.. Mr. Brian stated that he has increased the house by 40% in the front, and he is concerned about this coming out toward his property.
