This sounds like a reasonable solution. Since the section of the garage that will stick out is (I think) toward the center of his house, it should have limited impact to my house. I appreciate Rick and the city keeping the corner of the garage addition closest to my front yard only as far west as the extent of the existing home. Thank you once again for your assistance.

Since you were interested in the proceedings, I just want to inform you how the meeting pertaining to Mr. Bell's Administrative Deviation went. The proposed encroachment into the side setback (ending 3 feet from your shared property boundary) was approved with the condition that a gutter/downspout be installed along that eave to capture rain water and directing in into the front yard instead of allowing it to drain off the roof toward your yard. You might recall that I had mentioned a particular (and peculiar) zoning ordinance that allowed a one-level garage to extend into the front yard without special approvals; I didn't remember exactly how the provision is worded, but having looked it up, it says that an attached garage "may extend up to three feet into a required front yard as long as there is no living space above it." Here's how we applied the ordinance to this property: the existing setback of the southernmost portion of the home is about 33-1/2 feet so, according to the Code requirements, the garage would be permitted extend to about 30-1/2 feet from the f ront property line. In this case, Mr. Bell was amenable to building the section of the proposed garage addition with the 10-foot overhead door only as far west as the extent of the existing home, and then extending the portion of the garage with the 7-foot overhead door an additional 2 feet, ending about 31-1/2 feet from the f ront property line.
