D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. Garage Area Variance, 2740 Gem Street (7:45 P.M.) John Brandel
a. Chairman Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing on a request of
Mr. John Brandel, 2740 Gem Street to construct a double garage in addition to
the existing single garage. The Clerk read the notice of hearing along with
the publication date.
b. Manager Miller stated the applicant wishes to construct a double garage
having an area of 543 square feet in addition to his existing single garage
which has an area of 348 square feet. The Village Code provides that the
maximum building, shed or enclosure designed for the shelter or storage of
motor vehicles shall not exceed 750 square feet floor area. The applicant's
proposal will increase his total floor area for storage of motor vehicles on
his single residential site to 891 square feet. There is no evidence that
the case in question is unique and no reason is given or seen for varying from
the standard maximum of 750 square feet. Denial is recommended.

port:
