A 1194 sq. ft. variance for a detached garage; code permits 750 sq. ft., applicant shows 1944 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(c)(a). The oath was administered to Ryan Kinley. He's requesting a variance for a garage of about 2,000 square feet. There was a previous barn attached to a two car garage which was removed and was roughly the same size. Currently there are items being stored outdoors on the site which he would like to move indoors. Ms. Rudolph asked if the use wasn't being expanded as the plans show two offices and a restroom within the garage. Mr. Kinley said it would house his office, a meeting rooin and a bathroom for his business. Mr. Russell said the proposed garage is an extremely large garage for a single family home and aslced if the home in fact was a single fainily dwelling and Mr. Kinley said yes. Mr. Allain asked what would be stored within the building and Mr. Kinley said he has two or three trailers, trucks, equipment, paint sprayers, and when his vehicles require maintenance he would like to fix them indoors. Right now all his vehicles and equipment are stored outdoors in containers. Mr. Allain asked if the business was residential house painting or coinmercial painting. Mr. Kinley said his company does commercial striping of parking lots. Mr. Raig asked if the request was a residential request or coinmercial and Mr. Russell said although the applicant's application states residential garage his testiinony suggest he is building a commercial storage facility which is regulated under different zoning codes. Ms. Rudolph asked if the board would address the request as a home business and Mr. Russell said the owner doesn't live in the home. Mr. Allain aslced if the owner could apply for a business garage at the site as the site is zoned commercial and Mr. Russell said yes however it would be reviewed under commercial requirements not residential. Mr. Gareau reviewed requirements of providing a garage for the existing home regardless if the use of the site changed. It appears the applicant is now stating that the purpose of the proposed building is to house his business and commercial storage. Therefore the applicant would follow the review
