Findina: The subject property is a 75 feet wide by 120 'I feet lonq lot containing 9,000 sqeare feet. •Shere is an ; existing 1,590 square foot single family residE�nce on the ' site and an existing 440 square foot two car qe�rage. The � applicant is proposing to construct a separate 528 square � foot two car garage in the rear yard area with access off I the alley. The zoning code was amended in January 1988 to limit the �' size of accessory structures to 10 perr,ent of the lot � area or 1000 square feet whichever is smaller. The total ' area of accessory buildings on this site would be 968 � square feet or 68 square feet over the 900 square feet the code would allow. The applicant contends there are unusual circumstances applying to the proposed use of the property since he has three vehicles and a boat, motor and trailer that he wishes to garage. In the last year, he has had four incidences of vandalism or theft to his vehicles (see Exhibit 3 , Narrative Statement) . The average size two-car garage is twenty by twenty two feet and the Applicant could construct a qaraqe of that size and still remain within the code requirement.
