?- the property. Mr. Mackey asked if the owner could convert the building back into the garage, Mr. Gareau said the owner could bring it back into conformance without coming before the board again. Mr. Raig said the structure is not visible from the road and the neighbors would not be affected since a new structure is not proposed. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variances for 18- 11532; Greg Shimola; 23116 Clifford Drive: 1. A variance to not provide a private garage in a one-family residential district; code requires a private garage for each dwelling, applicant shows none; Section 1135.02(B)(1). 2. A variance for inadequate parking; code requires single family residential units to have a minimum of two spaces, one of which is enclosed; applicant shows no enclosed parking space; Table 1161.03-1, Parking Requirements by Use. Motion passed 5-0. 18-11641; Nicole Olev; 5151 Andrus Avenue Representatives: Nikki Oley, owner; Duane Schreiner, Shannonwood Homes Proposal consists of a new garage. Property is zoned B-One Family Residence. The following variances are requested: 1. A 7 ft. variance for rear yard setback for a garage; code requires 10 ft., applicant shows 3 ft., Section 1135.02(B)(1)(c). 2. A 2 ft. variance for side yard setback for a garage; code requires 5 ft., applicant shows 3 ft., Section 1135.02(B)(1)(c). 3. A 60.5 sq. ft., variance for rear yard lot coverage; code permits 578.5 sq. ft. allowable coverage, applicant shows 639 sq. ft., Section 1135.05(B)(2). See note. Note: Rear yard size is 2,500 sq. ft. x 20% = 500 sq. ft. allowable coverage. Previous variance of 78.5 square feet was granted for rear yard lot coverage'in 1996. Existing deck is 239 sq. ft. Proposed garage is 400 sq. ft. Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing to construct a new 400 square foot detached garage in the rear yard. The code requires a ten foot setback from the rear property line and five foot setback from the side property line whereas the applicant shows a three foot setback from both property lines. Regarding the rear yard lot coverage variance, the 60.5 square feet figure comes from the proposed lot coverage of 639 square feet (the 239 square foot existing deck and 400 square foot proposed garage) minus the total allowable yard coverage of 578.5 square feet (500 square feet allowed by code and 78.5 square feet granted in 1996). Mr. Schreiner stated that the existing foundation of the previous garage is too close to the property lines but the owner would like to keep it in that location. Mr. Raig clarified with the contractor that the foundation will be replaced in the project. Mr. Mackey believed it would be a hardship if the garage was situated more behind the home because it would be difficult to maneuver a car around the home. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variances for 18- 11641; Nicole Oley; 5151 Andrus Avenue: 1. A 7 ft. variance for rear yard setback for a garage; code requires 10 ft., applicant shows 3 ft., Section 1135.02(B)(1)(c).
