<br />City Council Meeting Minutes <br />December 21, 1992 <br />page two <br /> <br />minutes he feels that, based on the four criteria as outlined in <br />the City Ordinance, it would be difficult for the City Council to <br />find reason to allow this oversized garage. <br /> <br />Council member Dario stated that a smaller garage could hold all <br />three cars and that he feels a garage that is 624 square feet is <br />large enough. <br /> <br />Council member Pelton indicated that she would be more willing to <br />go along with an attached garage that forms a "L" shape which <br />would meet the Ordinance requirements. She further stated that <br />she feels that this variance does not meet the four criteria. <br /> <br />Mr. Curtis Burn, 7169 West Robin Lane, appeared before the <br />Council and stated he built the house in the present location <br />with the intention of building a detached garage. Mr. Burn <br />further stated there are no complaints in the area concerning the <br />construction of this over sized garage and in fact has letters of <br />reconmlendation from immediate neighbors. Mr. Burn stated he felt <br />the Planning and Zoning Commission should have voted on this <br />variance earlier and sent its recommendations to the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />Council member Pelton explained that the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission was not able to vote on this variance since there was <br />an error by the Quad Newspaper in the legal notice. <br /> <br />Mr. Curtis Burn stated that almost everyone in the neighborhood <br />has a garage and that not many more garages will be built in the <br />area. <br /> <br />Council member Dario requested what time schedule Mr. Burn has <br />for constructing this garage since it is now the winter season. <br /> <br />Mr. Burn stated that he intends to begin construction of the <br />garage next spring. <br /> <br />Council member Burgstahler stated that, based on the facts before <br />him, he does not see a reason for granting this variance. <br /> <br />Council member Pelton reiterated that this over sized garage must <br />meet the four standards for granting a variance as outlined in <br />Ordinance #4. Council member Pelton further stated that in new <br />developments it is required by City Ordinance that all <br />residential dwelling have attached garages. <br /> <br />Council member Burgstahler indicated the City did grant a <br />variance to one lot that was adjacent to a conservation area. <br />
