At that time, City Staff <br />decided to include a size restriction of 1,000 square feet on attached garages. The Planning <br />Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed ordinance to eliminate size restrictions <br />on attached garages dnring which no verbal or written comments were submitted. The Planning <br />Commission and Staff recommended adoption of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked which section of the ordinance prohibits the garage from <br />being larger than the size of the house. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik stated nothing prohibits constructing an attached <br />garage that exceeds the height of the house. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that by virtue of the minimum house size and maximum <br />garage size, a garage of a substantial size has not been an issue. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik noted the current regulation has been on the books for <br />ten months and the Building Official has indicated it has caused more problems than it has <br />solved. <br /> <br />City Council/April 11, 2000 <br /> Page 20 of 27 <br /> <br />-90- <br /> <br /> <br />
