y <br />I r <br />Representative: Ethan Kollar <br />The applicant requested a variance for a detached garage, seeking a 114 -square -foot variance for <br />its size, as the code permits 750 square feet, and the proposed garage is 864 square feet. The <br />garage is designed to protect a large van from damage caused by trees on the property. The <br />applicant explained that due to the van's size, a tandem garage was more practical than a side-by- <br />side design. There will be no storage above the garage, and it will feature a 12 -foot garage door. <br />The applicant provided letters of support from neighbors and highlighted the damage to the van, <br />including a recent incident caused by a fallen tree branch. Board members inquired about the <br />garage's construction and driveway adjustments, to which the applicant confirmed the existing <br />garage would be demolished, and the driveway would be slightly reduced in size to <br />accommodate the new structure. <br />Mr. Mackey moved to approve 227-2025; Ethan Kollar; 5194 Dewey Rd.; seconded by Mr. <br />Papotto. <br />The board discussed a previous variance request by the applicant, who had a freestanding carport <br />removed due to safety concerns during high winds. The applicant presented a well -considered <br />plan for a new facility to protect his vehicles, addressing issues such as property history, tree <br />damage, and vehicle protection. The board noted that the applicant had support from neighbors <br />and that the current 62 -year-old garage was inadequate. They agreed that a new garage would be <br />a positive addition to the property and neighborhood, with members expressing their support for <br />the variance request. <br />Motion passed: 5-0 <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />With no further business before the board, the meeting adjourned at 7:44 p.m. <br />Mike Kovach, Chair Lyn ilson, Administrative Assistant <br />Approved: q I 11 <br />
