NEW BUSIlVESS APP15-2781 Anthonv Samarian; 25747 Butternut Ridge Road Proposal consists of a certificate of appropriateness to build a new detached two car garage. Mr. Samarian said he is replacing the garage which was demolished. Mr. Dubowski asked what the speckled area was on the plan and Mr.. Samarian said it represents a gravel drive to allow an owner to expand or relocate the garage. The size of the lot warrants a two car garage or larger and the gravel drive would make change easier. Ms. Wenger said that gravel is not allowed by code only asphalt or concrete is permitted. She wouldn't support a variance to permit gravel as once granted it would be allowed forever. Mr. Samarian said they would move the garage to be 15 feet from the house and install a concrete driveway. Mr. Neville said he wasn't sure how the vinyl would look with the house and Mr. Samarian said the previous garage was aluminum sided and noted the home had been on the market for over a month and those interested have asked if a garage could be built. He will move the garage but not sure a two car garage could meet the side yard requirement. He questioned constructing a single car garage placed on the same footprint as the previous garage and Mr. Neville said the previous garage was improperly attached to the home. Mr. Dubelko asked if the proposed siding on the garage would match the home in style and color. Mr. Schumann asked if the owner looked at vinyl siding which looks like shake shingles for the front of the garage. Mr. Samarian said with the garage moved closer to the house, the size of the garage may be a single car to ensure the placement meets side yard setback and the required 15 foot distance from the home with the driveway narrowed to a single car drive. The siding for the garage will be the same style and color used on the back of the home. Ms. Schuler moved, seconded by Mr. Schumann, to grant APP15-2781 Anthony Samarian of 85747 Butternut Ridge Road a certificate of appropriateness to build a new detached two car garage with the following conditions:
