All in favor; none <br /> opposed. <br /> RESIDENTIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS <br /> 304-2025; Andrew Mortensen; 5148 Whitethorn Ave. <br /> The Board reviewed a request for a seven-foot variance to allow a detached garage to be located <br /> eight feet from the dwelling instead of the required fifteen feet. The applicant sought to reuse the <br /> existing garage pad from the previously demolished structure, citing cost and practicality. Staff <br /> noted the lot was small and supported the request due to limited relocation options. Discussion <br /> confirmed that reusing the existing pad would not create a rear yard setback issue and that the <br /> reduced distance was a zoning matter,not a building code concern. <br /> Mr. Ammons made a motion to approve; 304-2025; Andrew Mortensen; 5148 Whitethorn Ave.; <br /> seconded by Ms. Galateanu. <br /> Motion Passed:3-0 <br /> 306-2025; Mercedes Lux; 5854 Stearns Rd. <br /> 1 <br />
