Property is zoned C -One Family Residence. <br />1. A 1,248 s.f. variance for the area of a garage; code limits garages to 750 s.f. total, applicant <br />requests 1,998 s.f. (1,056 s.f. first floor plus 942 s.f. second floor), Section 1135.02(B)(1)(a). <br />Note: The application indicates only the area of the first floor of 1,056 s.f. <br />2.
