Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes June 15, 2016 Page 8 of 17 vehicle more appropriately and have more space to maneuver around the vehicle. I tend to agree with Chairman Meseck and Board Member DeJong on the fact that the setback encroachment, in and of itself, seems like a 1/2 foot is a minimum encroachment symmetrical to the garage and fits with the architecture. I do have concern on the lot coverage. It seems there could be some exterior modification that does not compromise your internal living areas. It looks like your covered porch is really close to 30" above ground level so there may be some modification to the ground or the porch itself that could put you in the territory of having the enlarged porch, and then back off the roof until you meet the 20% rule. I think you can achieve a lot of your design goals. DeJong says that Robinson and Staff's analysis and reasoning are well founded and I find their conclusion to be thorough and correct.
