Page <br />• <br />• <br />Mr. Colabello stated tht the two trees located on the property <br />will be removed and the lot will be cleared completely in prepara- <br />tion for the new foundation and placement of the modular home. <br />City Building Inspector Stephan noted the provision of two off- <br />street parking spaces in the rear of the lot, which would enter <br />from the alley. Mr. Stephan explained that this would meet the <br />new ordinance relative to parking spaces and will also require <br />the removal of an old shed, now located on the property. <br />Mr. Stephan submitted a letter of opposition submitted by Mary <br />C. Domenico, 901 Jefferson, for the benefit of the Board members. <br />Mrs. Domenico expressed her opposition to Mr. Colabello's re- <br />quested variances stating she was not in favor of reducing the <br />sideyards to permit a larger dwelling. Mrs. Domenico felt that <br />the adiacent-.-homes _already have limited sideyards and a larger <br />dwelling would visually distract from the other homes. In <br />summary, Mrs. Domenico felt that the Zoning Ordinances should <br />be adhered to. <br />Mr. Stephan commented on Mrs. Domenico's letter stating that <br />the proposed dwelling would be smaller rather than larger the <br />existing dwelling. <br />Board member Bob Davies stated that he has had opportunity to <br />see the Colabello property and commented that all of the property <br />on the 900 block of LaFarge Avenue are all to close together, <br />regardless of whether they conform to City code or not. Mr. <br />Davies was of the opinion that the proposed structure could <br />not detract but add to the conditions of the property, <br />There was some discussion relative to the lot size accomodating <br />the size of the proposed structure. <br />Mr. Colabello stated that the contractor has assured him that <br />there will be no problems in placing the new structure without <br />disrupting existing buildings. <br />Chairman Ross commented that he and the City Building inspector <br />Mel Stephan had reviewed the proposal on the location, Re stated <br />that there would be considerable closeness but Mr, Ross felt <br />that a new structure on the lot would certainly enhance the <br />entire block. <br />Mr. Davies asked Mr. Colabello if any provision had .been made <br />for a driveway facing LaFarge Avenue, <br />Mr, Stephan noted that the plans as submitted, did not provide <br />for a driveway, only two spaces in the rear have been provided <br />for. Mr. Stephan did not think it was advisable to have a <br />driveway on this lot. <br />
