The existing one car garage is located approximately two feet ftom the north property <br />line and the existing driveway is approximately three feet over the north property line. <br />A 20" retaining wall in this location and the narrow width of the driveway results in the <br />accumulation of snow in this area and makes it difficult to access the -garage. <br /> <br />- B. The new garage will be constructed in line with theftont of the house on the property; <br />however, the garage cannot be attached because of the location of required egress <br />windows on the south side of the house. - <br /> <br />PF323255 - RCA (091100) Page 1 of2 <br />
