He explained the need for <br />storage, noting that he has studied this for over one year. <br /> <br />Member Egli asked if off-site storage was possible (previously done and <br />not acceptable nay longer). Why not a five foot setback (yes, boat doesn't <br />fit easily). <br /> <br />Member Cunningham asked when the house was purchased (10 years). <br />Did the property owner to the south ask that garage be moved (no)? Is <br />there an adverse possession requirement here? (no) <br /> <br />Member Mulder noted that the one vehicle will left outside even if garage <br />is built (yes). <br /> <br />Member Wilke asked if the turn-around could be required (yes). <br /> <br />Member Olson asked if diagonal placement of the garage had been <br />considered (yes). <br /> <br />Member Egli asked if neighbors' garages were the same size (Mr. <br />Reichenbach explained that to the north - same size; to the east two <br />garages are larger). <br /> <br />There were no questions from the public. Chair Klausing closed the <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Chair Klausing asked what was the physical hardship; a 435 s.f. garage <br />could be added without variances for lot coverage. <br /> <br />Member Mulder said the driveway length and large front yard might be <br />hardships for the variance, not allowing a usable garage of750 s.L <br />However, adding the CUP request for an 832 s.f. garage is a problem. <br /> <br />Chair Klausing felt there was not an unusable or unreasonable use of the <br />site with a 435 s.f. garage. <br /> <br />Member Rhody stated the hardship is a small lot (62 feet), less than <br />normal size; the size of the garage is not outlandish to him. <br /> <br />Member Mulder stated the hardship is the 50-foot front setback that <br />creates the longer driveway than would otherwise be needed; he could not <br />justify the CUP. <br />
