Violation of Ord. 90-125, Sections 1135.07 and 1135.08. Note: The proposed patio will be attached to the existing garage. A variance was granted on 10-9-89 to build garage in this location. Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was administered to Mr. and Mrs. McGreal. Mr. Koberna questioned the need for an enclosed patio when they also have a proposed screen porch addition. Mr. McGreal stated that that will be on the front, but the enclosed patio will be a three season room. They have already reduced the front porch to save a tree, and they might not even go forward with it. Mrs. McGreal stated that they have a mosquito problem in the area. There will be a man door from the garage to the enclosed patio. Building Commissioner Conway stated that there was a concern if this is a normally occupied area there should be a separation between the porch and the vehicles. If it is being used as a porch, he did not think there would be a need for fire separation. They will be draining it with a trench to the ditch and he has permission from the next door neighbor to trench over his property. Mr. Miller noted that he is negotiating with the neighbor to buy the piece of land from his property line to the creek. Mr. McGreal stated that this is being worked on but it will take a few months to accomplish it, so he wants to go ahead with this now. T.
