In � order to provide adequate offatreet storege and proteotion for his vehicles� the app'_icant would like to dertalish the exi�ting 79 ft. x I 20 ft. atrunture and replaee it with a 24 ft. x 20 ft. structure. The ne►r structure would abut the rear property line. Concluaion: Considering the inedequaoy of the older atructure to meet prexnt off.atreet parking needs, this request seems reasonable. 2.

Finding: The City encourages property owners to provide garages in order to meet off—atreet parking requirements. The applicant�s property ha� had a nonconforming garage exi�ting 3 feet lYom the property line since the 1g20's. Conclusion: The variance would allow a property right which has been en�oyed by the applicant and by other properties in the area. 3. That the authorization of auch variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or in�uriou� to property in the vicinity or zone in which the property is located. Finding: No adverse comments were received fl�om other Clty Departments.
