He stated that <br />he would like to have the extra wide garage so that he can store additional items in the <br />garage. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />, <br /> <br />There was a question on whether or not the applicant could increase the depth of the garage <br />instead of the width and thus have approximately the same square footage in the garage. <br />There was also a question as to how the lot to the west would be developed. In other words, <br />what would be the setback of that particular house fronting on Transit Avenue. <br /> <br />Recanmendation <br /> <br />Johnson Moved, Edlund Seconded, that the Carl Anderson request for variance to setback at <br />917 Transit Avenue be granted for 8.4' instead of 6.4' giving him a 22' garage, but that <br />the petitioner should contact the owner of the vacant westerly lot so that a 20 foot set- <br />back will exist between the two houses.

Nays: None. <br /> <br />Planninf File 539-69 - Richard O'Dea request for variance to corneryard setback at 386 <br />drooks venue. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Mr. Richard O'Dea, 386 Brooks Avenue, stated that he would like to put a 11-1/2 foot <br />family room onto his L shaped home. He stated that he is requesting a 24 foot setback <br />instead of the required 30 foot front yard setback. ~Ir. 0' Dea stated that due to the <br />shape of the house there would be no vision problem as far as the extension of his property. <br />He further stated that if this variance were granted it would result in a 19 foot garage <br />for his property. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />A letter was read from Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Schultz, 385 Brooks Avenue, stating their <br />opposition to this variance. They indicated that it would obstruct their view and would <br />be a hindrance to the neighborhood. Mr. O'Dea presented a petition from 10 residents in <br />the neighborhood stating that they had no opp~sition to this variance. There was a <br />question as to the size of the garage, that being of 19 feet as too small for a two car <br />garage. Mr. O'Dea indicated that this was probably true, however, he felt that it would be <br />sufficient for his needs. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Johnson Moved, Demos Seconded, that we recommend that the Richard O'Dea request for <br />variance to corner yard setback at 386 Brooks Avenue be approved.
