existing garage needs to be completely rebuilt with a new foundation and is designed to match <br />the house. <br />Ms. Lieber thought the structure is designed well but thought the variance request is significant. <br />She asked if there is any intent for converting the second floor into livable space which is not <br />permitted. Ms. Drellishak said there is no intention to turn it into living space and it would be <br />used for storage of her collections and vehicle parts. Ms. Corbo added that the second level will <br />not be finished. Ms. Drellishak said the garage would be built in the same footprint as the <br />existing structure but the existing foundation must be redone. Ms. Patton asked about the current <br />size, Ms. Corbo said the proposed building is the same length but four feet wider than the <br />existing garage. Mr. Papotto asked if the garage would be used for commercial activity, Ms. <br />Drellishak said it would not be. Ms. Drellishak would not use the home as a rental if her family <br />no longer lives there and will continue to maintain the home and structure as long as they own it. <br />Mr. Mackey thought the new garage would enhance the look of the neighborhood and was not <br />concerned about the vacant lot and commercial properties being affected by it. Mr. Papotto <br />thought the variance requested is large but the mounds and fence around Target would decrease <br />the visibility of it, Mr. Rahm agreed. <br />Mr. Mackey moved, seconded by Mr. Rahm, to grant the following variances for 20-17085; <br />Lurleen & Gerald Drellishak; 4748 Columbia Road: <br />1. A 1,248 s.f. variance for the area of a garage; code limits garages to 750 s.L total, <br />applicant requests 1,998 s.f. (1,056 s.f. first floor plus 942 s.f. second floor), Section <br />1135.02(B)(1)(a). <br />2. A 1 ft. variance for the height of a garage; code limits garages to 15 ft., applicant <br />requests 16 ft., Section 1135.02(B)(1)(b). <br />Motion passed 4-0. <br />COMMUNICATIONS <br />Sign Code Update <br />The changes will be presented to City Council this week. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Mr. Rahm moved, seconded by Ms. Patton, to excuse the absence of Mr. Allain, motion <br />passed 4-0. <br />With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m. <br />MElW W <br />=- <br />Aob '.•• • <br />Approved: (I I g1ZUZ O <br />Nicole R -Ackerman, Administrative <br />Assistant <br />
