J. Owen, Esq.: Not accessory if attached – if attached as 10x10ft is an addition. Then the set backs – moving house closer to the road as opposed to just an accessory.

Mr. Ramos: I am in an end unit and did not think it was such a problem.

Mr. Oster: With a car there your bumper is almost on the road. If you bring in 10 feet and use it for storage you are 5 feet in further.

Mr. Smith: Detached but very close buildings. The other units have little garage but have to go more into the building to get complete garage. His heating unit is there. Extend out and project out further than anything else on the street.

J. Owen, Esq.: The 15 feet is o the side and if cut back to 10 same distance away from the road.

Mrs. Thompson: Are the other ones 35 feet off?

Mr. Oster: No.

Mr. Smith: Others have garage but unit provided for that. To extend garage this way (drawing) it will come out further and anything but compact hang out on street.

Mr. Ramos: The home owners said it was fine but come there. There are 2 extra spaces for cars some where else.

Mr. Smith: if you want smaller addition with not garage door but oversized door nice and wide

Mr. Smith: Any one here from the Public? (no)

Mr. Smith: Any questions from the Board?

Mr. Ramos: What about 12 feet; 10 feet was short.

Mr. Oster: Its short for a building but the driveway.

Mr. Smith: Its congested.

Mr. Ramos: If you prefer 10x10 I’ll go with that.

Mr. Smith: With a standard hinged door, for example.

Mr. Morgan: He can put up any type of door a car will not fit there.

Mr. Oster: My concern is when cars can pull up to the building. The home owners association may have issues but does not affect us.

Mr. Owen: It is a planned community and don’t fee additions should be put on them that were not made for that. You bought it the way it is.

Mrs. Thompson: The 10x10 addition would make a difference.

Mr. Smith: 10x10 is because its an end unit. Planned development and not made to have additions put on them. We can grant you something. 10x10 could be done.

Mr. Owen: You can amend your application.

Mr. Smith: It is congested and brining the house lines to the road will only make it more congested.

Mr. Oster: If 10x10 it will not go out further than the neighbor’s garage.
