Watson and Geving voted in favor. Johnson abstained. Motion carried. PETITION FOR ZONING VARIANCE TO THE ACCESSORY BUILDING SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1420 LAKE LUCY ROAD, TERRANCE O'BRIEN, APPLICANT. Barbara Dacy presented a brief overview of the variance petition. The applicant, she explained, is requesting a five foot variance to the ten foot required accessory building setback to construct a 24' x 20' garage. The unusual circumstances regarding the location of the garage is the existence of a wetland located in a depression just east of the house. The topography slopes sharply downward to the depression. Building the garage in conformance with the setback would require locating the garage on the side of the hill. Mr. O'Brien wanted to extend the length of the garage from 20 feet to 22 feet. Geving felt it would be a substantial improvement to the property. He asked what prevents the applicant from locating the building further to the north. O'Brien stated that the location of the trees prevents locating the building further to the north. Geving asked the applicant about drainage from the proposed garage roof. O'Brien stated he would use gutter pipes to drain the water to the wetland. Geving stated he wanted to make it a condition that the runoff must be directed towards the wetland and that the west garage wall be of sheet rock/fire wall material.
