1 impervious surface allowed. 2 3 Member Traynor asked ifthere are other locations where two car garages on a site have 4 been approved (Thomas Paschke explained no, but many have square footage large 5 enough for four cars, and in rear yard detached large garages). Thomas Paschke 6 explained the review process. 7 8 Member Bakeman asked if a double deep garage (2 x 2 stalls) had been considered. 9 10 Member Peper asked if there is a possibility to disturb roots of trees on adjacent trees. 11 12 Member Traynor asked if the neighbors to the south have commented. 13 14 Mr. Berger, 3036 Victoria, said he found 2416 Hamline has a similar garage. 15 16 Member Ipsen asked what alternatives had been evaluated by Mr. Berger. Mr. Berger 17 explained. He noted that he will save trees on both the east and south sides. 18 19 Member Traynor asked why additional space was needed. Mr. Berger explained he had 20 three cars and a boat, plus a work bench in the garage. He explained he could build 21 larger if attached to the house. 22 23 Vice Chair Mulder asked about the design. It will be similar to the house and be sided as 24 in the house, with windows. Had Mr. Berger considered brick or stone? There will not be 25 both garage doors visible from the street. Mr. Berger has not considered matching the 26 1952 stone on the rambler. 27 28 Mr. Berger stated he will landscape around the front (east) side. 29 30 Mr. Ralph Withowski, Brenner Ct., asked why a third stall was not considered or why the 31 owner had not considered storing the boat off site. This house is one of the nicer homes. 32 The addition will add to the clutter. 33 34 George Reiling Jr., 3071 Victoria, original owner (1990). He explained he subdivided 35 and created a new drainage plan. He was concerned that the impervious surface will 36 drain to his lot north of Mr. Berger. Could additional drainage be directed through 37 gutters and directed to the street. At 891 Brenner there is a four-car garage and Mr. 38 Reiling liked it. 39 40 Member Traynor asked if an additional stall was added to the garage would it be 41 permitted (yes). There are reasonable alternative other than the variance. 42 43 Vice Chair Mulder closed the hearing as no further comment was offered. 44 45 Member Peper said the proposal adds more value, must blend in with more landscaping 46 and matched material.
