Mr. O'Malley questioned the status of the garage that is on the southeast side of the lot, which looks to be owned by the Knight family. He questioned if the issue of the garage being so close to the new garage had been addressed. Mr. Gillespie reviewed that if there is an easement for the garage that is on the lot then the garalge will remain. However if the garage does not have an easement then they will work something out with the owner to either move it or leave it were it is. Mr. O'Malley questioned if part of the home was on the lot.
