overseen the application, looking over what Paul has worked with the applicant on, plus I have reviewed the impacts of the revision (what would happen from a code standpoint). Sears: Is it staff's recommendation that the gas meters be relocated to the south side of the garage? Franklin: They need to be safely be relocated in order to make this garage structure work. The side of the garage is not objectionable as a location. Comments from the Board: Sears: Where is the other bank of meters located? Applicant: Four are located on this building, and then four are located on the other building. There are 2 4-unit banks. Fyne: I was glad to see the revisions to this project and have no objection to the variance. Pendergrast: It meets the minimum variance so I am in favor of the application at this point. Sears: The plan still shows river rock and dirt in front of the garage. Wouldn't it be better if it was concrete? Applicant: It will be concrete. Staff Findings of Fact (1-6): The Board reviewed the staff findings, as listed in the staff report. All members were in agreement with the staff findings. Motion for Approval: Steve Pendergrast made a motion to grant a 3 ft. front setback variance to allow a 22 ft. front setback, rather than the required 25 ft. setback on Unit 1A. On Unit 8A, the motion will also include a 5 ft. side yard setback variance to allow a 5 ft. setback, rather than the required 10 ft. setback. The motion will include a provision that both the proposed garage units should be incorporated in a manner which is architecturally compatible with the existing structure. The structure shall utilize an extension of the existing hip roof, or will incorporate a separate hip roof design. The motion was seconded.
