REPORT OF VILLAGE PLANNER ORLYN MILLER Case No. 81-6, Variance - Front Setbacks for Garage Addition, 4126 Gale Ci rcle Council was referred to Planning memo of 2-20-81, Board of Appeals report of 2-27-81 and Planning Commission Minutes of 3-4-81. A transparency was shown of the lot and existing house, indicating the proposed 20' x 20' garage addition with bedroom above. Miller noted that the actual variance requested is 11' (29' from front property line; adjusted measurements to r.o.W rather than curb, as presented). In discussion, some concern waS expressed relative to the two story height of the addition and that the building mass may shut off the view for adjacent house. Applicant Pitzen explained that the existing house has long narrow, very inadequate bedrooms; wants the bedroom over the garage if he buys the house; advised that the neighbors are aware of the 2 story addition, favor the plan and have signed the plan. Pitzen showed a sketch of the proposed front elevation of the house and photo- graphs of the existing house. After discussion, Hollenhorst moved, seconded by Johnson, that Council approve the 11 foot front setback variance based on the findings of the Planning Commission and Board of Appeals, and that a hardship exists because of the existing house location. Motion carried unanimously. .
