He then stated that with the current <br />setback requirements for corner lots he would no) be allowed to build the two-car garage <br />he wants to build. He then asked the Commission why the setback on corner lots is 35 <br />feet. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson asked if Mr. Tratar had seen the new version of Ordinance 4 as the <br />amendments recently made may solve the issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Tratar indicated he had come to City Hall three weeks ago for a building permit and <br />was told he would need a variance in order to proceed with the planned garage. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson asked that the discussion of Mr. Tratar's setback issue be heard later <br />in the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Bates asked if he would be able to meet the setbacks if he went with an attached <br />garage.
