I-Ie said that you discusscd �cith him the two objections the Planning Department had <br /> with his desigu that �vcre outlined in thc Kevin Cricchio Ietter of November 30, 2006 (attached) <br /> and tha[it was agrecd thc McLces garage n•ould not includc living spacc. Howevcr,Mr. McLees <br /> furthcr c�plained that not only did you continue to maintain that his pllnned attached garag: is <br /> too high (over I S') but fliat it also cxceeds tLe allowable lot coverage and that he must apply tor <br /> a variance,citing the City of Gvr ett Land Use Codc,Chaptcr 7(Zone 4-5-I Regulations),Section <br /> 7.020 (Rcgulations for acccsson�buildings), paragraphs D. mid Kl.suU2. <br /> However,as I interpret paragraph I 1, tlic I 5'hc�ght limitation applics only to cictached acccssory <br /> buildings. Thcre:ore, 1 don't widerstand tl;c hcight issuc/conccrn. <br /> Also,as I intcrprct the code,��Ir. McLecs' dcsign���ould 6c well within thc allo�eable lot coverage <br /> limitation if he �verc allowed the 500 squarc foot exemption for an intcgral garage. (Sec <br /> paragraph B.) Sincc paragraph I3 c�pliciUy dcfines "integral" as mcaning a "common wall <br /> aqachment...etc.", �vhich is �vhat the nttachcd garagc permit that my client has applied for <br /> conlcmplates, I 8S11I1 �IIII l0 Sl'C \1'here there is a problem. <br /> My client has also said that to fivlher bolster your objection you vcrbally cited him to K.l.sub2. <br /> which sa}�s no accessory building shall excecd l�% of Ihc lot area. I-Io���evc�, as 1 rcad that <br /> paragraph, it dearly pertains only to "lots containing a minimum lot area of cightcen thousand <br /> squam fcct...." aud my clicnt's lot is cfcarly Icss than that. <br /> �/v� <br />
