The parcel comprises approximately ten and a half acres. with four subdivided parcels, including <br />the one where the detached garage stands, which is part of the primary house's parcel. The <br />proposal, discussed with neighbors, includes no commercial plans for Air B -N -B or short-term <br />rentals, as the intent is to keep the property in the family. A carport was chosen over an enclosed <br />garage to maximize interior living space, yielding two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The <br />carport, essentially a wraparound porch, offers weather protection and direct entry to the cottage. <br />The new structure would provide around 1,300 square feet of living space, with the carport <br />integrated as part of the porch design. <br />Mr. Rahm motioned to approve 23-25859; Sam and Ann Marie Wernick: 23347 Mastick Road; <br />seconded by Mr. Kovach. <br />The board members acknowledged past discussions regarding additional dwelling units (ADUs) <br />and the importance of considering family needs and economic factors. They viewed the proposal <br />as unique due to the property's large acreage and well -presented case.

The members expressed agreement and support for the proposal, <br />emphasizing the need to evaluate each case independently and anticipating future revisions to the <br />city's code. <br />Motion passed: 5-0 <br />23-25865; Robert Burkett; 6508 Brighton Drive <br />Representative: Robert Burkett <br />The proposal sought a variance for a new storage building, with a single request for a 42 square <br />foot increase beyond the code's allowance of 150 square feet. The applicant planned for a <br />12x16x12 storage building, exceeding the code due to the lot size of 19,250 square feet. <br />The applicant highlighted the need to protect their substantial investment in equipment, including <br />a tractor loader, riding mower, and various other tools, currently exposed to the weather. <br />Originally proposing a larger building, they scaled it down to a 12x16 size to avoid additional <br />requirements and deemed it better suited for the city. <br />Mr. Rahm motioned to approve 23-25865; Robert Burkett; 6508 Brighton Drive. seconded by <br />Mr. Kovach. <br />Motion passed: 5-0 <br />23-25871; John Roetzel; 23183 Summerland Road <br />Representative: John Roetzel and Ann Stanley <br />2 <br />
