?}. Chairman, Maloney called all interested parties forward to review the request. The oath was administered to Mr. Chalkwater the owner. Mr. Chalkwater indicated that the variance request was not.what he wanted. He believes that 7 feet from the back of the lot is not enough. He wants to have the garage be 4 feet from the rear property line. He suggested that his rear neighbor had his garage 3 feet from the property line, which is only three years old. The reason the inspector put 7-feet was a pine tree that is 4 feet from the property line. Mr. Rymarczyk commented that the inspector put 7-feet because that it what Mr. Chalkwater agreed to ask for. If he would like to amend the request, that is his option, but he did agree with the inspector or the inspector would not have put 7-feet. Mr. Chalkwater remarked that he wanted to change the request to be 4-feet not 7- feet. Mr. Koberna questioned if the applicant was asking to place the garage 4-feet from the rear property line or would it be placed 6-feet from the rear lot line. This would require a 4-foot rear yard variance instead of a 3-foot variance. Mr. Chalkwater indicated that he wanted the back of the garage 4-feet from the rear yard line. Mr. Koberna suggested that he was concerned that the neighbors might object to you.being 4 feet from the property line. Mr. Maloney indicated that he was concerned about drainage. Mr. Thomas indicated that the garage would have downspouts that would be connected to a drain in the driveway. Mr. Maloney questioned if the neighbors were ever asked if they had objections to the garage. Mr. Chalkwater suggested that he had spoke to the neighbors in the spring as his home is the only one on the street without a garage. Mr. 1Vlaloney questioned if the applicant could live with being 5-feet from the rear property line. Mr. Chalkwater suggested• his rear neighbor was only 3-feet from the rear properiy line. Mr. Koberna questioned when the applicant wanted to start building the garage. Mr. Chalkwater suggested that he would like to have it done before the weather changes. Mr. Koberna voiced a concern that neighbors may object to the garage being only 4-feet from the rear property line. The request is being increased by 3-feet which is a lot. He believes the neighhors should be made aware of what the applicant wants before it is discussed. Mr. Maloney questioned if the applicant would like to wait until next months meeting and ask for a larger variance. Nk. Chalkwater remar-ked that he would wait until the next meeting. He wants the back of his garage 4-feet from the reaa- property line. J.
