Proposal consists of a new garage on a lot with no dwelling unit. Property is zoned B-One <br />Family Residence. <br />The following variance is requested: <br />1. A 306 sq. ft. variance for a detached garage; code permits 750 sq. ft., applicant shows <br />1,056 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(B)(1)(a). <br />Note: The property is comprised of two parcels. Parce1235-11-076 (5377 Porter Road) has the <br />main house. Parce1235-11-075 is existing non-conforming in that it only has the garage located <br />on it. Consolidation is encouraged. <br />Mr. Aspery said the applicant is proposing to construct a new 24 foot by 44 foot detached garage <br />in the rear yard of the adjacent parcel to replace the existing garage. Code permits a maximum <br />area of 750 square feet; the applicant exceeds this size by 306 square feet for a total size of 1,056 <br />square feet. The separate parcel is existing non-conforming since it only has a garage without a <br />dwelling unit. Mr. Decaire stated that there are animals living under the floating slab for the <br />garage and the current garage door is only 6 feet tall. He wants to build a three car garage but it <br />would not fit on the parcel with the home. He did not think it would be very noticeable from the <br />street since it would be a little wider and deeper. The existing shed would be removed. Mr. <br />Papotto confirmed that the parcel with the house is also non-conforming and the calculation for <br />the allowable garage square footage is dependent on the lot with the garage only. Mr. Aspery <br />stated that a 750 square foot garage is permitted no matter the size of the property. Mr. Decaire <br />said he was unaware that the lots were not consolidated but he will get it taken care of. <br />Discussion regarding the variances being contingent on the lot consolidation, Mr. Gareau was <br />comfortable with it not being a requirement since the applicant has most of the work done and it <br />would be easier for the homeowner to have them consolidated. Mr. Decaire would like to have <br />the garage built before the end of the year. Mr. Allain did not think the variance needed to be <br />contingent on the consolidation. <br />Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variance for 18- <br />12043; Kevin Decaire; 5377 Porter Road: <br />1. A 306 sq. ft. variance for a detached garage; code permits 750 sq. ft., applicant shows <br />1,056 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(B)(1)(a). <br />Motion passed 4-0. <br />18-12072; Diane Chalklev; 5145 Andrus Avenue <br />Representatives: Diane and Jamie Chalkley <br />Proposal consists of a new garage. Property is zoned B-One Family Residence. <br />The following variances are requested: <br />1.

A 6 ft. variance for rear yard setback for a new garage; code requires 10 ft., applicant shows <br />4 ft., Section 1135.02(B)(1)(c). <br />Mr. Aspery said the applicant is proposing to construct a new 20 foot by 25 foot detached garage <br />in their rear yard. Setback variances are required for both the side and rear yard. Code requires a <br />5 foot setback from the side property line while a 3 foot, 9 inch side yard setback is shown.
