<br /> <br />Commissioner Thompson inquired about the support for the deck for entering the <br />new garage. Mr. Wessberg stated he doesn't know at this point of time and would <br />probably like to use steel. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thompson stated there is a safety concern about running into the <br />support for the deck. <br /> <br />Chair Sand inquired about how steel would be used. Mr. Wessberg stated he <br />wants to save the oak tree and possibly cantilever the deck. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson inquired about the height of the garage door for the new <br />garage. Mr. Wessberg stated it will be a seven foot garage door. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson inquired if there will need to be a lower floor in the garage <br />to accomplish the height. Mr. Wessberg stated he doesn't want to have the floor <br />lower, but will get the height in the floor framing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson stated he assumed there is a fall-off to the east and ifthe <br />driveway had to be put a little to the east there wouldn't be a drainage problem. <br />Mr. Wessberg stated he hasn't explored that option. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson stated the driveway might need to be depressed to <br />accomplish adequate drainage. Mr. Wessberg stated he hasn't had the plans <br />examined by a structural engineer at this point, but thinks if it is framed in steel it <br />would be adequate. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson inquired if Mr. Wessberg has explored building the new <br />garage in front ofthe existing garage. Mr. Wessberg stated he hasn't explored <br />that option, but it would detract from the view from inside the house. <br /> <br />Commissioner Modesette inquired about the grade of the driveway. Mr. <br />Wessberg stated it is flat. <br /> <br />Commissioner Modesette inquired if Skiles Lane is higher than Snelling Avenue. <br />Mr. Wessberg stated it is. <br /> <br />Commissioner Modesette inquired if the grade around the house will remain the <br />same and ifthe house will be more visible. Mr. Wessberg stated he thinks it will <br />be less visible. He demonstrated the location of a spruce tree that he would like to <br />move that will block some of the view of the house. <br /> <br />Chair Sand stated it is possible for the addition to be in a different location <br />without encroaching in a setback. He stated allowing further encroachment in the <br />setback could set a precedent. <br />
