<br />Questions, Comments, and Discussion: <br /> <br /> <br />-Commission members discussed the setbacks and location of buildings in the Historic District, <br />comparison of surrounding lot sizes, the shape of the existing lot, and the location and height of <br />the proposed garage. <br /> <br />-Commission members expressed concern about the potential impact of the two-story garage as <br />opposed to other detached garages in the subdivision that were one-story structures. <br /> <br />-Commission members noted that the trapezoidal shape of the lot as compared to surrounding <br />rectangular lots. It was also noted by Commission members that the proposed orientation of the <br />garage, at an angle rather than parallel to the property line, could reduce the perceived <br />prominence in comparison to the development pattern and location of buildings on surrounding <br />property. <br /> <br />-Commission members discussed a setback of ten feet as a compromise to allow additional space <br />from the existing dwelling while respecting the character and scale established within the historic <br />district. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Mr. Wesenberg to recommend to the Board of Adjustment that a <br />minimum setback of 10 feet from the northern property boundary be maintained, rather than the <br />5 feet as requested by the applicant, in keeping with the character and scale of other structures <br />within the historic district. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hamilton and carried unanimously. <br /> <br />5. Other Business <br /> <br />5.a.
