4• <br />existing gravel driveway would be covered with concrete, and part of the area would be <br />converted to grass. The variance was sought to accommodate the family's practical needs and <br />improve the driveway's usability. The request was reviewed by the board with no immediate <br />objections. <br />Mr. Kovach motioned to approve 116-2024; Tahaney Musa; 6386 Mackenzie Rd.; seconded by <br />Ms. Patton. <br />Motion Passed: 4-0 <br />118-2024; John Murphy; 6250 Stearns Rd. <br />A 20 -foot variance was requested to extend a driveway accessing a detached garage, where the <br />code allowed only 12 feet in the front yard, but the applicant proposed 34 feet. The existing <br />driveway, installed with a permit in 2015, likely predated changes in the code regarding <br />maximum widths. A previous variance was granted in 2006 for a larger detached garage. The <br />applicant sought to replace a small concrete triangle with a larger one, connecting it to the <br />sidewalk, to facilitate vehicle maneuvering, especially during winter. The board reviewed the <br />request without objections. <br />Mr. Kovach motioned to approve 118-2024; John Murphy; 6250 Stearns Rd.; seconded by Ms. <br />Patton. <br />Motion Passed: 4-0 <br />120-2024; Robert Kuhn; 5341 Whitehaven Ave. <br />Two variance requests were made for a detached garage. The first was for a 546 -square -foot <br />variance to exceed the 750 -square -foot limit, as the proposed garage was 1,290 square feet. The <br />second variance was to build the garage without a driveway, which is normally required by code. <br />The applicant explained that the detached garage would be used for storing high-end show cars <br />and that a driveway was planned for the following year due to cost constraints. The board <br />discussed concerns about the lack of enforcement mechanisms for ensuring the future installation <br />of the driveway and suggested revising the plan to include the driveway before proceeding. The <br />applicant agreed to revise and resubmit the plans. <br />Mr. Kovach motioned to table 120-2024; Robert Kuhn; 5341 Whitehaven Ave. until the next <br />meeting; seconded by Ms. Patton. <br />Motion Passed: 4-0 <br />
