Article X, Section 4.4-2 . Attached Garage
Zoning District R 3 A-7 ft. side yard required - 2 ft. variation requested.
The Public Hearing Notice vas read and Mr./Mrs. Evans were sworn in.
Mr. Evans stated his reasons for requesting a variation to allow them to construct
an attached garage. He finds it very inconvenient to keep moving their cars in and
out of the garage. Since they leave and arrive home from work at different hours,
the cars must be switched often. In the winter, it is especially difficult.
The location of the new garage was drawn on the Plat of Survey. Because they live
in Zoning District R -3A , 7 ft. side yards are required with a total of 16 ft. on
both sides combined. The ZBA has the power to grant up to /3 of 16 ft. and the
request for 2 feet could be granted. This would allow for a fey extra inches.
The Evans plan to keep their old garage for storage. It is located a little less
than the required 10 feet from the proposed new structure. Mr. Griffin will over-
see the construction to inform the builder of the necessary distance.
The driveway will be widened at the apron to accomodate two cars but will remain
the same width at the street.
Com. Ilefler brought up the neighbors notification letter and noted that it did not
clearly state the actual intent the Evans' have in mind. By leaving the old garage,
and constructing an attached garage, the neighbors may not realise that there will
be two structures.
It was noted that the old garage will not be visible from the street. The Evans
said that the only neighbor that will be affected live at 38 Crestview and they have
no objections. They, in fact, have converted their attached garage into a family
room and built a garage in the rear, creating the same situation.
After the garage is constructed, the house and new garage will be aided to look
the same. This will greatly improve the neighborhood and increase property value.

Hardship was further discussed. The Evans stated that it is necessary for
insurance purposes to drive a certain oar. Milage effects the premiums. Also,
with the present economic situation, it would be difficult to sell this house
�./ and purchase a new one.
Com. Quick noted that the Village will benefit from this variation. The value
of the property will increase and the neighborhood will be beautified.
Corn. Perlman made the following motion:
I move we grant the petition of Mr. and Mrs. Hillery
Evans, 40 Crestview Terr. for variation of Article X,
Section 4.4-2 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow the
construction of an attached two-car garage.

to unique circumstances; •

-
car garage.
