Mr. Hindley: This is for the storage of cars and the front of the building lies along a tree line and there is plenty of side and rear room. Excessive size.

Mr. Hindley: In the front and I’ll get rid of all 4 sheds which will be removed.

Mr. Smith: Any questions from the Board?

Mr. Oster; The driveway will go around and trailer stay?

Mrs. Thompson: Who lives on the property?

Mr. Hindley: No one, I am going to move there.

Mrs. Thompson: You can’t have an accessory building without primary residence.

Mr. Hindley:

J. Owen, Esq: No one lived in trailer in 5 years?

Mr. Hindley: No. No one told me that.

Mr. Oster: I thought someone was in the trailer and you needed this for personal use.

J. Owen, Esq.: It has to be with the principal building. There are 3 things to make it accessory building.

Mr. Hindley: Its RA and is 2 acres.

Mr. Smith: The acreage?

Mrs. Thompson: 1.5.

Mr. Smith: You need two (2) acres for the residence.

Mr. Hindley: The trailer has not been used for 5 years.

Mrs. Thompson: He will need variance for the house because of the current acreage.

Mr. Owen: You are going to live there?

Mr. Hindley: Yes, move trailer and put modular on it.

J. Owen, Esq.: The zoning has been changed to 2 acres for 1 lot unless you get variance for that. You will have to come here for a variance. You have lost use for it since its been more than a year and replacing it with something different.

Mrs. Thompson: How big on Dosen Road?

Mr. Hindley: Its my parent’s house. It was surveyed when I bought it.

Mr. Smith: You can go see him and ask him to put the buildings on it.

Mr. Hindley: Last time I was just told about the size.

Jean Bock: You cleared the whole lot.

Mr. Hindley: The face of the building is on the wood line.

Scott Kopek (Public): I have a concern about a 46 x 30 building for car storage – hobby one thing and not a extension of stock car across Citgo station. The stock cars coming and going is different from storage.

Mr. Hindley: The race cars on are on a commercial lot.

Scott Kopek: The back is the front of my yard.

Mr. Hindley: There are trees between the two.

Mr. Smith: It has to be an accessory to a use.

Scott Kopek: (showed where the lots are)

Scott Kopek: Hobby and corvettes are fine.

Mr. Smith: What is the height of the building?

Mr. Cooper: They plan on taking some of the knoll down. Now it goes up and quick and we went with that but will excavate it to the back lot evenly. Your approach is too abrupt if you go too high.

MICHAEL RAMOS: Request for a variance of 249-22-D
(side and front yard setback): side from 15ft to 12ft; front 35ft to 7ft 7 in;for a 10x10ft attached garage; Property located at 10 Abingdon Mews (SEC 93 BL 1 LOT 32); Designated R-1.

Mrs. Thompson: The mailings were reviewed by the Board and filed by the Secretary. The Public Notice was read at 9:11 pm.

Mr. Smith: I Move to open the Public Hearing at 9:12 pm.

Mr. Smith: Please present your application.

Mr. Ramos: Good evening and I am looking for a variance for an attached garage 15 x 10 to my home in the side yard area there.

Mrs. Thompson: I asked what you would put in garage and you needed a place for stuff. Do you need such a big addition to the house? You took the other car out so I could see how it fit. If just for stuff in attic or cellar could you use smaller area.

Mr. Oster: The Front yard is my concern – the garage so close to road and that neighbor.

Mr. Ramos: On the side here (drawing)?

Mr. Oster: With the garage 7.7 feet, even though the end piece its coming too close.

Mr. Ramos: 11 feet, what if I do 15? 22.7 and 4 feet 2 inches. So if I put 15 its 11 from the street.

Mr. Smith: I looked at it yesterday and lot of cars are there and in a planned development and most do come with garages - your garage will stick out further than the rest of them and garage there is not in keeping with development.

Mr. Ramos: Can I make it smaller. It’s the same garage as the others.

Mr. Smith: It will project out further and realize you have driveway on the side as well. Mainly its being planned development and to approve a variance like this brings it closer to the side streets.

Mr. Ramos: What about a smaller unit?

Mr. Morgan: What about 10x10.

Mr. Ramos: What about storage instead of garage?

Mr. Owen: You bought this 2 years ago?

Mr. Ramos: Yes.

Mr. Smith: Not an addition to the house.
