Discussion:
Previously the Planning and Zoning Board approved several variances for a detached garagve, however conditioned that the detached garage be no greater than 16' x 40'. City staff have provided a screenshot of the recorded variance approved by the Planning and Zoning Boar don July 9th, 2025.
However, after further research it was determined by the applicant that the contractor would be charging him for an 18' by 40' then reduce the size to 16'. Therefore, the applicant is asking for leniency from the board to allow him to pay and place an 18' wide detached garage instead of the previous approved 16 foot wide garage.
