The existing one car garage is located approximately two feet from the north property <br />line and the existing driveway is appro�mately three feet over the north property line. <br />A 20" retaining wa11 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 />B. The new garage will be constructed in line with the front of the house on the properry; <br />however, the garage cannot be attached because of the location of required egress <br />windows on the south side of the house. <br />PF323255 — RCA (091100) Page 1 of 2 <br />
