A 146 sq. ft. variance for a new detached garage; code permits 750 sq. ft., applicant shows <br />896 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(c). Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing to install a 32 foot by 28 foot detached garage <br />in their rear yard. Code allows a maximum area of 750 square feet for detached garages, <br />therefore requiring a variance of 146 square feet. The applicant is currently in the process of <br />consolidating the two connected lots to form one lot with a width of 91 feet, which would a11ow <br />this structure to be built.

Mr. Gareau <br />asked what the status was for the lot consolidation. Ms. Rambo-Ackerman stated that the lot <br />consolidation was approved by the Planning and Design Commission on September 27, 2017 and <br />the applicant is working with the Engineering Department to get the documents recorded. Mr. <br />Allain asked if the garage will be used for commercial purposed, applicant stated that it will not. <br />Mr. Papotto clarified that the variance would still be required if the lot consolidation is done. He <br />did not think that the garage would affect the neighbors due to the new size of the lot. Mr. <br />Mackey clarified that the garage would need to come back if the height is too tall when applying <br />for building permits. <br />Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to grant the following variance for 17-9748; <br />Brad Sikula; 22977 Macbeth Avenue, contingent on the consolidation of parcels 237-13-041 <br />and -042: <br />1.
