Council found it difficult with the current setbacks to be able to build a house with a 3-car <br />garage and make the house still look reasonable. City Council directed the Planning Commission <br />to initiate action to amend City Code to reduce the garage side yard setback to 6 feet and to conduct <br />a special m~efing to grant a variance to the garage side yard setbacks in the plat of Amber Ridge so <br />as not to delay development of the subdivision. Mr. Schroeder stated that Staff has surveyed <br />surrounding communities and it has been determined that a majority of the communities require a 5 <br />to 6-foot side yard setback on the garage side of the property. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Bawden and seconded by Board Member LaDue to adjourn the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
