CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS- CHAIR TORNATORE  
No remarks were offered.  
PUBLIC COMMENT  
Jim Kurckowski spoke on behalf of his petition. He spoke to the variation of the increase of  
height, which was recommended to disapprove. There were some issues about water runoff, but  
he does have a storm sewer in the corner of his lot. He noted the light issue, the nearest the house  
is 250 feet away, there would be no blockage of light. The height of the roof on the garage and  
the dormer would match the house.

Attachments:  
Chair Tornatore asked Paul Hoss for more information on the Zoning Hearing Officer's  
recommendation to deny the variation of height. The maximum height for a detached building is  
15' and the peitioner is asking for 23'. The concern of the ZHO, who approved the setback  
variation due to the septic location, thought there was a concern of having too much bulk at the  
adjacent right-of-way. The height addition is for aesthetics, there was no hardship presented.  
Member Rutledge moved and Member Chaplin seconded 1. Variation to reduce the corner side  
setback for a detached garage from permitted 30' to approximately 11'. All ayes, motion carries.  
Member Rutledge moved and Member Chaplin seconded 2. Variation to increase the height of a  
detached garage from permitted 15' to approximately 23.5'. Member Rutledge, aye, Member  
Chaplin, aye, Member Gustin, aye, Member Ozog aye and Chair Tornatore nay. The motion  
passed.
