The subject site has a single family <br />home that encroaches into the front yard setback; the owners wish to add a family room in the <br />back. Any expansion of a non-conforming structure requires a Type 4 Non-conforming use <br />permit. The owners also wish to add a third stall on their garage which would encroach into the <br />required 30 front yard setback by 12 feet; the new garage wall would be only 18 ft. from the front <br />instead of the required 30 ft. This request requires a variance. <br /> <br />Steve Kuczenski, home owner, approached the commission and explained why he and his wife <br />had decided to expand their current home. David Long, Murphy Brothers Designers and <br />Remodelers, came forward, presented the proposed changes and the difficulties the lot presented <br />with finding an area for the garage. <br /> <br />I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\Minutes\2005\09-20-05.doc <br /> <br />
